How to Find A Therapist or Counsellor Near You

“How do I find a counsellor? Where do I even start?” 
​
Sometimes, just finding a therapist is one of the biggest hurdles for people interested in counselling or psychotherapy.

If you are feeling that way, you are not alone (but if you're here reading this page, then you've already taken the first step and for that, you should be proud!). 

If I am not the right therapist for you, some great options to find counsellors are:

• Just asking around - Referrals from friends, medical providers, or others in your community is a great way to get some potential therapists names.
• Therapist directories - Some therapists directories such as Psychology Today or TheraVive are quick and easy ways to look at therapists profiles, areas of interest, specialities and training. 
• Social Media - Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc. are ways many private practitioners or agencies are advertising their services. 
• Google - Google is a fantastic way to see a list of therapists (and everything else, really) near you.
• Employee Assistance Benefits - If you have EAP through your work, you may have an option to go through your insurance provider.
