WSIB Registered Psychotherapy
Fully funded psychological recovery and trauma-informed care for workplace injuries in Richmond Hill and across Ontario.
Healing from a Workplace Injury is More Than Physical
A workplace injury or incident changes your daily routine, your physical capabilities, and often your financial peace of mind. At Dawn Therapy, we recognize that mental recovery is just as vital as physical rehabilitation.
Research shows that physical injuries frequently trigger secondary psychological challenges, including: anxiety, high stress, panic, or depression due to isolation and uncertainty about the future. If you are navigating the emotional aftermath of a workplace event, you do not have to carry it alone.
Who is Eligible for WSIB Mental Health Coverage?
To receive fully funded psychological care under this program, you generally must meet the following criteria:
Workers who have experienced a work-related physical injury or a traumatic workplace event.
Individuals experiencing Chronic Mental Stress or Traumatic Mental Stress directly resulting from their employment.
Individuals with an active, open, or recently approved claim number with the WSIB of Ontario.
Clients referred directly by an employer, physician, or their WSIB caseworker looking for an approved psychologist or psychotherapist.
Does WSIB Cover Therapy and Counseling?
Yes. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) of Ontario fully covers professional mental health treatment for approved claims, including Traumatic Mental Stress, Chronic Mental Stress, and PTSD.
An Important Note on Choosing a Provider: Not all therapists are covered by the board. WSIB will only fund your care if your treatment provider or clinic is explicitly registered within their network. Choosing an unregistered practitioner can result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs or severe authorization delays.
Dawn Therapy's WSIB-registered providers provide structured, clinically grounded therapy that aligns directly with WSIB approval frameworks, meaning zero upfront costs, co-pays, or fees to you.
