Frequently Asked Questions
Are there Registered Social Workers available in Greater Sudbury, or should I consider online options?
First Session connects you with Registered Social Workers (RSWs) serving Greater Sudbury through both in-person and online sessions. While in-person RSW availability in Greater Sudbury may be limited, online therapy significantly expands your choices, letting you work with qualified RSWs regardless of where they're physically based in Ontario. You can filter by location preference and session type to find what works best for you.
What makes First Session different from other ways to find an RSW in Greater Sudbury?
Unlike traditional directories that only show photos and written bios, First Session provides video introductions for every therapist. This lets you see and hear how RSWs communicate before booking, helping you find someone whose style resonates with you. Credentials are verified during onboarding, and each profile clearly displays the therapist's designation so you can confirm they're an RSW for insurance purposes. Learn more about how we vet our therapists.
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 Registered Social Workers 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. Since therapy is deeply personal, seeing and hearing your potential RSW beforehand can help you assess whether they feel like the right fit.
Why would I specifically look for a Registered Social Worker instead of another type of therapist?
Many people seek Registered Social Workers because RSWs are covered by most extended health insurance plans in Canada. RSWs have completed a Master of Social Work degree and provide counselling and therapy services across a wide range of mental health concerns. If your insurance plan covers MSW RSW services, filtering by this credential type on First Session helps you find therapists whose designation matches your coverage requirements. Learn more about what MSW RSW means and how it affects insurance, or compare different mental health credentials.
How does First Session verify that RSWs are properly licensed?
Credentials are verified during our onboarding process. Registered Social Workers on First Session are licensed professionals regulated by their provincial college, and their credentials and professional designations are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency helps you verify their qualifications match your needs and confirm their RSW designation is appropriate for your insurance reimbursement. License and designation information is visible on each therapist's profile.
How do I get started finding an RSW in Greater Sudbury?
Browse First Session's directory and filter by the Registered Social Worker credential to see only RSWs. You can further filter by location preference (in-person in Greater Sudbury or online across Ontario), specialty areas, and other factors that matter to you. Watch video introductions at your own pace to find someone whose style feels right. When you're ready, you can book directly through their profile or request a free consultation call to ask questions before committing. There's no pressure—take the time you need to find the right match.
You deserve more from therapy.
You made the courageous decision to reach your full potential. Find the right social worker to help get you there, and make the most of the time and money you’re investing in yourself.
