If you’re a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario looking to incorporate, you’ve probably realized how complicated and time-consuming the process can be.
Between gathering the right documents, meeting CRPO’s strict guidelines, and ensuring everything is filed correctly, many therapists feel stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed—especially when they’re already busy running a practice.
The good news? You don’t have to do this alone. We assist psychotherapists to navigate through the CRPO incorporation process from start to finish—so you can focus on what matters most: your clients.
🤔 Why Do Psychotherapists Choose to Incorporate?
Many Ontario psychotherapists choose to incorporate for three key reasons:
✅ Tax Benefits – Reduce personal taxes and take advantage of lower corporate tax rates.
✅ Limited Liability Protection – Separate your personal assets from business risks.
✅ Increased Credibility – Clients, landlords, and insurers often view incorporated practices as more professional and established.
But unlike regular business corporations, psychotherapy Professional Corporations (PPCs) must follow strict College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) rules.
🚨 That’s where things get tricky.
📑 What Are the CRPO Incorporation Requirements?
To incorporate your psychotherapy practice, you must complete several CRPO-specific steps—and missing even one can cause delays, extra costs, or even rejection.
✅ Here’s What You Need to Submit to the CRPO:
🔹 A properly structured Certificate of Incorporation (meeting CRPO’s naming rules)
🔹 A Certified Corporation Profile Report
🔹 A completed Application for a Certificate of Authorization
🔹 Signed Declarations from all Shareholders, Directors, and Officers
🔹 Proof that all shareholders are Registered Psychotherapists
🔹 Payment of the CRPO application fee
Sounds like a lot of work? It is. 😰
⚠️ The Biggest Mistakes Therapists Make When Submitting Their CRPO Package
Many psychotherapists try to handle the incorporation process themselves, only to run into common mistakes that cause delays or rejection:
❌ Incorrect Naming Format – Your corporation name must include your surname, “Professional Corporation,” and a reference to psychotherapy. Brand names are NOT allowed.
❌ Missing Shareholder Information – All shareholders must be Registered Psychotherapists.
❌ Failure to Submit Required Documents – CRPO has strict filing requirements, and missing even one document can lead to delays.
❌ Errors in the Application Package – Small mistakes in legal or financial details can result in rejections and extra fees.
