The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy (OSP) Program provides free, evidence-based, short-term cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for adults experiencing mild to moderate depression, anxiety, and related conditions. Services are delivered by trained therapists and are accessible via self-referral. More information in link below.

Key Features of the program:

• Complementary to Employee & Family Assistance Programs (EFAP): OSP can be a next step for individuals needing more targeted therapy after an initial EFAP consultation or for those who may not have success with EFAP options.
• No Cost: Services are publicly funded, removing financial barriers for staff who may not have extended EFAP coverage or who require longer-term, structured care.
• Access to Trained Therapists and Stepped Care: The program offers a range of service options from self-guided resources (Bounceback, iCBT, Tranquility, Mindbeacon) to individual 1-1 therapy, depending on the client’s needs.
• Therapists all across the region: OSP works through a network of organizations and has therapists in Kenora, Dryden, Fort Frances, Thunder Bay and Marathon, Additionally there are two traveling therapists and clients can have telephone and virtual meetings.
