Frequently Asked Questions

Are there Registered Social Workers available in Brampton, or should I consider online options?

First Session connects you with Registered Social Workers (RSWs) serving Brampton through both in-person and online sessions. While in-person availability varies by location, online therapy significantly expands your options, letting you work with qualified RSWs regardless of where they're physically based. You can filter by the RSW designation specifically and by session type to find what works best for you.

What makes First Session different for finding an RSW in Brampton?

Unlike traditional therapist directories that only list names and credentials, First Session provides video introductions for every therapist. This lets you see and hear how RSWs communicate before booking, helping you assess their approach and style. You can watch videos at your own pace, filter specifically for the RSW designation to match your insurance requirements, and make more informed decisions about fit. Learn more about our vetting process.

How do video introductions help me choose the right RSW?

Video introductions give you insight that photos and written bios simply can't provide. You'll hear how RSWs explain their approach to therapy, see their communication style, and get a genuine sense of their personality. This preview is especially valuable when choosing an RSW, since their work often focuses on systemic and contextual factors affecting mental health. Many people find watching videos helps them feel more confident about their choice before reaching out.

What does the RSW designation mean and how does First Session verify credentials?

Registered Social Workers (RSW) hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree and are registered with their provincial regulatory body. RSWs focus on therapy through a holistic lens, considering how social, environmental, and systemic factors impact mental health. Credentials are verified during onboarding at First Session, and all professional designations are clearly displayed on therapist profiles. This transparency helps you confirm their qualifications match your needs and verify their credential type is covered by your insurance. Learn more about MSW RSW designations in Canada.

Will my insurance cover sessions with an RSW from First Session?

Many extended health insurance plans cover therapy with Registered Social Workers. First Session automatically charges your credit card at the time of your session and provides you with a detailed receipt that includes the provider's name, designation, business address, and contact information. You can submit this receipt to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Filter by the RSW credential type to find therapists whose designation matches your coverage, and check your specific benefits plan for details. Read more about therapy and insurance in Canada.

How do I get started finding an RSW in Brampton?

Browse First Session's directory and filter specifically for the RSW designation. Watch video introductions to get a sense of each social worker's therapeutic approach and communication style. You can also filter by session type (in-person in Brampton or online), specialty areas, and other preferences. When you find someone who feels like a good fit, you can book directly through their profile or request a free consultation call to ask questions before committing. Take the time you need to find the right match.
