“I wish I’d known about this platform sooner! I loved the introductory videos–this is what helped me choose the therapist to book an intro consultation with.”
First Session Client, 2025
Compatibility is the most important factor when choosing a social worker. But finding the right fit isn’t easy. First Session takes the time, guesswork, and emotional labour out of that process.
Narrow your search to a list of rigorously vetted therapists you’ll actually consider booking. Because finding a therapist shouldn’t involve reading endless generic bios.
Decide if a therapist is the right fit for you before booking with interview videos and in-depth bios. No more switching or re-telling your private feelings and story
Schedule an available session or free consultation right from the First Session platform. No 3rd party intake calls or back and forth emailing required.
Registered Social Worker is a protected title in British Columbia for practitioners who hold a social work degree, have completed supervised practice hours, and are regulated by the BC College of Social Workers.
Both are recognized designations for therapy in BC, but they come from different training backgrounds and are regulated by different bodies. RSW is regulated by the BC College of Social Workers, and RCC is regulated by the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. Neither is inherently “better." The right fit depends on your needs.
Many Canadian extended health and employer benefit plans cover RSWs, but coverage varies by plan. Check each therapist's profile under Insurance Coverage and confirm the details with your provider.
Yes. Out-of-province RSWs licensed to work with BC clients are available through First Session, in addition to Victoria-based practitioners.
Yes, though availability can vary. You can filter for in-person options directly, or choose from a wider pool of RSWs available online.
RSWs on First Session serving Victoria cover a broad range, including anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, addiction, and relationship concerns, often with attention to the broader life circumstances surrounding a person's mental health.
Watch intro videos, compare approaches, and book a free 15-minute consultation with the therapists who feel like the right fit. No intake calls, no back-and-forth. Just direct booking.
