Fri, 05 Feb 2027 17:00:00 GMT

Join lawyer Olivia Sikali for a practical introduction to privacy compliance, privacy breaches, PHIPA and CRPO obligations for Registered Psychotherapists.

This 60-minute webinar will cover the foundations of privacy compliance and breach response, including a complete walkthrough of a realistic scenario. Participants will leave with a concrete, step-by-step response plan they can apply if a privacy breach occurs, rather than simply an awareness of the applicable rules.

During this webinar, participants will explore:

• The foundations of privacy compliance for Ontario Registered Psychotherapists
• PHIPA and CRPO obligations related to privacy breaches
• How to identify and respond to a potential privacy breach
• A step-by-step breach response process
• A practical scenario demonstrating how these obligations apply
• Common questions and considerations for RPs

About the presenter

Olivia Sikali is a bilingual lawyer who holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Ottawa and a Certificate in Privacy and Cybersecurity Law from Osgoode Hall Law School.

She works extensively with Ontario Registered Psychotherapists across a wide range of legal needs, from contract matters to privacy compliance, including CRPO and PHIPA obligations. Olivia also teaches future legal professionals, breaking down complex legal concepts into plain language and concrete, actionable steps.

Launching or growing your therapy practice shouldn’t feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to the business side. This practical, plain‑language webinar walks Canadian therapists through exactly how to set up and run a sole proprietorship with confidence. Demystify how your taxes actually work, what you can deduct (and what you really shouldn’t), and how to organize your business finances so you stay compliant, stress‑free, and in control at tax time.

In this session, you’ll learn:

How to properly set up your practice as a sole proprietor
What income you must report — and how to track it without drowning in admin
The most common (and most missed) deductions for therapists
How GST/HST works for therapy practices and when you need to register
Simple systems to separate personal and business finances
How to stay on top of CRA requirements all year, not just at tax time

Perfect for new practitioners and seasoned therapists who want to tighten up their financial foundations.
