What we do
Psychotherapy Matters (PM) is Canada’s collaborative mental health platform. We link therapists, family doctors or nurse practitioners, and psychiatrists into a single care network centred on you. With our therapist directory and digital infrastructure for collaboration, PM turns fragmented care into a connected pathway, making support more accessible, effective, and sustainable.
How we can help
Finding a therapist matched to needs
Our free online mental health directory supports the search for the right psychotherapy provider.
Supporting collaborative care
PM facilitates collaboration among psychotherapy, primary care and psychiatry consultation (when appropriate).
Mental health practitioners
Our online platform enables practitioners to collaborate in shared decision-making and coordinated care.
Collaborative care for better mental health
Mental health care can often feel fragmented. Psychotherapy Matters helps bring the therapist and family doctor or nurse practitioner (primary care provider, PCP) onto the same team. When needed, the PCP can make a referral so that a psychiatrist can add their expertise. This way, care is coordinated and focused on what matters most—supporting the client.
In this model, psychiatrists work in partnership with the therapist and PCP on a consultative basis. This collaboration reduces unnecessary travel, avoids repeated visits to multiple practitioners, and strengthens communication in shared care.
