Mental Health Practice Management Software and EMR for Canadian Clinics
A mental health clinic rarely has a single profession under its roof: psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers share clients, rooms and a front desk, but each answers to a different college, prints a different registration number on receipts and applies different taxes. Colib is mental health practice management software built for that multidisciplinary reality -- one shared calendar, one client file with role-based access, receipts and taxes configured per practitioner, secure telehealth and clinical notes, all PIPEDA and Loi 25 compliant and hosted in Canada. It works just as well for a solo practitioner as for a clinic of twenty. Looking for your specific profession? Jump to the page for psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists or social workers.
Why Mental Health Clinics Choose Colib
A multidisciplinary clinic needs one system that respects the differences between its professions instead of flattening them. Colib was built with that in mind.
One Calendar, Many Professions
Shared scheduling across psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers, with rooms, appointment types and online booking configured per practitioner.
Shared Files, Role-Based Access
One client file per person, visible only to the practitioners and staff who need it. Every access is logged, which is what PIPEDA, Loi 25 and your colleges expect.
Receipts & Taxes per Practitioner
Each practitioner's registration number and default taxes are set once: tax-exempt psychotherapy for one, taxable services for another, and correct insurance receipts for everyone.
Find the Page for Your Profession
This page covers the clinic as a whole. Each profession has its own page with the receipts, regulators, taxes and workflows that apply to it.
Psychotherapists
Registered Psychotherapists (CRPO), Quebec psychotherapy permit holders and the 2024 GST/HST exemption.
Psychotherapy softwareCounsellors
CCC and RCC designations, provinces without a college, sliding-scale fees and group benefits eligibility.

Social work softwareHow We Can Help: Running a Mental Health Clinic in Canada
Our job is to take the coordination work off the clinic's plate so that practitioners spend their time in session, not at the front desk. Here's how Colib does that in a multidisciplinary practice:
-Intake routed to the right practitioner : Clients book the right appointment type with the right profession online; intake forms, consent and screening tools arrive in the file before the first session.
-Internal referrals without re-entering data : When a counsellor refers a client to the clinic's psychologist, the file, history and forms are already there, and access is granted per role.
-Reporting by practitioner and by clinic : Caseload, revenue, no-show rates and outstanding balances per practitioner, plus the clinic-wide view an owner or manager needs.
-One privacy framework for everyone : Encrypted storage in Canada, secure messaging and a complete audit trail cover psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors and social workers alike.
-Support that understands clinics : Our team helps you set up practitioners, permissions, receipts and taxes so the clinic is right from day one.
