Podcast Interviews with Darren Elliott, RP
Compassionate online therapy across Ontario for human experiences: anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, emotional immaturity, and more.
Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re juggling anxiety, relationship conflict, burnout, or the fallout of difficult family patterns. Hearing how a therapist thinks can help.
I’m Darren Elliott, Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and founder of Online Therapy Ontario and The Narcissism Recovery Project™. Below is a curated library of my interviews on respected mental-health podcasts. Each conversation models our approach: warm, evidence-informed, non-shaming, and practical—because all of us are humans having human experiences.
We serve clients anywhere in Ontario (virtual care). Many extended health plans reimburse sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist; we provide receipts for insurance claims.
Therapists: We’re a collaborative group practice—students and experienced clinicians welcome.
