Jo-Anne Corbeil pioneered the vision for OPC - Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling Program in the year 2000. She conducted the first bi-monthly learning groups in the year 2000. In 2000, Jo-Anne then invited Barbara Dewar to co-create with her in expanding and carrying out the vision for the OPC program. The following year the training program expanded to the forum that is presently used.
 

Admission:

The facilitators will hold a flexible framework for the review of individual requirements, as each person who inquires about the OPC Training Program will bring their own gifts, talents and life experience and these will be considered for admission purposes. The faculty also understands that in the future each student will conduct a practice that suits their interests and is connected to their unique talents and skills. We also hold an open attitude regarding educational backgrounds and previous related experiential life learning. The student is asked to fill out an application for a fee, to review their educational and life experience, as part of the admission process.

The Ontario Psychotherapy and Counseling program supports a lively " spirit of education". The faculty believes that spiritual / psychological energy drives the learning process for both the student and the teacher. We hold the belief that when the student hears the call to become a psychological healer, all of the potential ingredients to carry out this vocation already exist within the initiate.
