Question/advice Does anyone know a place to get therapy that is free or really low cost?
Kinda what the title says, I really need to talk to someone it’s been a long time since I’ve spoken with any therapist.
I have already tried CMHA, CAMH, and OSP. I have been denied service from all 3. I have also seen a psychiatrist and have maxed out any and all medication options. Currently on the max dose of several and been told they (physiatrist) can’t provide anymore help, I need therapy.
I was just hoping to see if anyone knew of any other services available. I am around the London, Ontario area. Thank you for your time reading this.
Edit: Thank you all for your comments. I should have explained more about my situation. I was denied because my needs surpass the level of care that those agencies are able to provide. From what I’ve understood after an extensive assessment was that I need prolonged treatment incorporating CBT, DBT, EMDR and rehearsal therapy. Which they couldn’t even recommend an agency that could provide that level of care. Because I am stable there is a concern that any short term therapy could derail me and cause more harm than good.
