Help with finding a Psychologist

[Strawberry Fields]

Hello. Im
new to the forum
and looking for some support. Is there anyone who wishes to share info on a Psychologist who was helpful for them? Im trying to help my husband find a therapist for his Depression and Anxiety, but its so hard to know who will be a good fit. Its not like looking up reviews for restaurants or a hair dresser. People dont share this kind of info because of the stigma. Not even a friend will share if they know or have seen someone. its rare. I know where i can find a list of names but im looking for some real feedback from someone who personally has had an experiece with a therapist. Im looking for a psychologist in particular. Any recommendations, especially if they are within Toronto? This is such a daunting process and I am trying to take this pressure off of him by helping him find someone, but its become such a challenge for me as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Strawberry Fields and welcome to the forums. I'm across the country so I have no personal experience to share.

I don't know if this link will be helpful, but it is for Ontario resources.

Hi Strawberry Fields,

I have never seen a psychologist but there are a few excellent once’s at Brampton Civic hospital. A family member of mine was seeing one there and they were very good as far as diagnosis, medication and counselling programs. I do have a suggestion, I would look for a psychiatrist/ psychologist that has expertise in a certain area. For example, one who specializes In assisting people with severe anxiety or depression.

Hello Strawberry Fields,

Just wanted to check up and see whether you found a psychologist for your husband?

If not, here is one that a friend of mine went to for her anxiety and here is her website: https://drcohen.ca

My friend said a few good things about her and told me she would suggest her.

Of course you may want to do a consultation before starting with her to see if she is the right match.

Hope all else is well!
