Frequently Asked Questions

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

First Session connects you with Registered Social Workers (RSWs) serving Burlington through both in-person and online sessions. While in-person availability varies by location, online therapy significantly expands your choices, letting you work with qualified RSWs regardless of where they're physically based. Many people seek RSWs specifically because this designation aligns with their insurance plan requirements. You can filter by location preference and session type to find what works best for you.

What makes First Session different from other therapist directories for finding an RSW?

Unlike traditional directories that only show photos and bios, First Session provides video introductions for every therapist, including all Registered Social Workers on our platform. This lets you see and hear how they communicate before booking, helping you find someone whose style resonates with you. All credentials are verified during onboarding, and each profile clearly displays professional designations so you can confirm the RSW credential you need. Learn more about our vetting process.

How do video introductions help me choose the right Registered Social Worker?

Video introductions give you insight that photos and written bios simply can't provide. You'll hear how RSWs speak, see their communication style, and get a genuine sense of their personality and therapeutic approach. Many people find this preview helps them feel more confident about their choice and more comfortable in their first session. For therapy to be effective, the relationship matters, and videos help you assess fit before reaching out.

What does RSW mean and why do people specifically seek this designation?

RSW stands for Registered Social Worker, a regulated mental health professional in Ontario with specific training in counseling and psychotherapy. RSW sessions may be eligible for insurance reimbursement, which is a primary reason people filter by this designation when searching for a therapist.  First Session displays each therapist's credentials clearly on their profile and makes it easy to filter by credential type to match your insurance requirements. Learn more about what MSW RSW means in Canada or compare credentials with our professional comparison chart.

Can I see both in-person and online Registered Social Workers from Burlington?

Yes, you have flexibility in how you receive therapy. You can filter for RSWs offering in-person sessions in Burlington, or expand your search to include online therapy. Online sessions can connect you with qualified Registered Social Workers regardless of their physical location, which often means more availability and a wider range of specialties to choose from. Both formats provide effective therapy. It's about what works best for your schedule and preferences. Read more about online vs in-person therapy.

How do I get started finding a Registered Social Worker in Burlington?

Getting started is straightforward. Browse profiles of Registered Social Workers and watch their video introductions at your own pace. Use filters to narrow by location preference (in-person in Burlington or online), specialty areas, and approach. When you find an RSW who feels like a good fit, you can book a free consultation call to ask questions before committing or book a full session directly. There's no pressure. Take the time you need to find the right match.
