Frequently Asked Questions
Are there therapists available in British Columbia, or should I consider online options?
First Session connects you with therapists serving British Columbia through both in-person and online sessions. While in-person availability varies across the province—with more options in major centers like Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna—online therapy significantly expands your choices. Online sessions let you work with qualified professionals throughout BC and beyond, regardless of their physical location. You can filter by location preference and session type to find what works best for your situation.
What makes First Session different from other therapist directories?
Unlike traditional directories that only show photos and text bios, every therapist on First Session has a video introduction. This lets you see and hear how they communicate before reaching out, helping you find someone whose style resonates with you. Credentials are verified during onboarding and clearly displayed on each profile. We focus on helping you make informed decisions through transparency rather than overwhelming you with options. Learn more about our vetting process.
How do video interviews help me choose a therapist?
Video introductions provide insight that photos and written bios simply can't offer. You'll hear how therapists 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 walking into their first session. It's like meeting someone before committing to work together, which can make a meaningful difference in finding the right fit.
How does First Session verify therapist credentials?
All therapist credentials are verified during our onboarding process. Therapists on First Session are licensed professionals, and their designations are clearly displayed on their profiles—including psychologists, registered clinical counsellors, social workers, and other regulated professionals in British Columbia. This transparency helps you verify their qualifications match your needs and check if their credential type is covered by your insurance plan. You can explore different therapy credentials to understand what each designation means.
What if there aren't many in-person therapists in my area of BC?
Online therapy expands your options significantly beyond your immediate geographic area. You can work with qualified therapists serving British Columbia regardless of where they're physically located, which often means more availability and a wider range of specialties. First Session lets you filter by session type, so you can search specifically for in-person options in your area or open up your search to include online therapy. Many people find online sessions just as effective, with the added convenience of meeting from home. Read more about online vs in-person therapy.
How do I get started finding a therapist in British Columbia?
Getting started is straightforward. Browse therapist profiles on First Session's BC directory and watch video introductions at your own pace. Use filters to narrow by location, specialty, therapeutic approach, session type, and credentials. When you find someone who feels like a good fit, you can book directly through their profile or request a free consultation to ask questions before committing. There's no pressure—take the time you need to find the right match for your situation.
