Anxiety/ trauma counsellor suggestions I feel a little weird posting about this but I don’t know where else to get suggestions and opinions about this.
Backstory: I’ve always struggled with anxiety and depression. In October, I was sexually assaulted. I’ve been really struggling since then.
I need to talk to a counsellor and I don’t know where to go in Ottawa. Does anyone know of good counsellors, therapists, psychiatrists, etc. If you are comfortable sharing I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

www.ophc.ca are very good. www.ocbt.ca is also good. Neither need referrals. It's a big step to realize you need help and to ask for it. You may have a long road ahead of you, but you've already taken some big steps to get you there. Be kind to yourself.
Does anyone know of any good sex therapists in Ottawa? Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for sex therapists in the Ottawa/Barrhaven/Manotick area.

Where to get help with mental health? Where can I go to get help with my mental health? I read online that you need a referral from a family doctor to see a psychiatrist, but my family doctor is 5 hours away, as I just recently moved here. Does anyone know if a walk in clinic would refer me? What are my options here?

You can come to the Centre for Cognitive Therapy without a physician referral. However your insurance company may request a referral note from your family doctor in order to cover therapy. [https://ocbt.ca/contact/](https://ocbt.ca/contact/)613-729-0801admin@ocbt.ca Please contact us anytime!
