In Ottawa, psychologists are not covered by our provincal health plan OHIP. I can't afford to pay out of pocket for a psychologist.

I saw a student therapist once, but I didn't like that she had to video tape every single session and go over it with her supervisor. Also it wasn't free.

Then I saw a social worker for counseling at a non profit organization, but she could only see me twice a month and we weren't a good fit. She also told me that I had to choose between her or pdoc. I've been seeing pdoc for like 8 years now and she knows me very well so I chose pdoc.

Then there was this psychologist that my GP referred me to who was free. He worked at the university clinic too and knew my pdoc. He saw me for one appointment and agreed that I should just continue to see my pdoc.

I absolutely do not want to stop seeing pdoc. She knows me very well. I tell her everything and she has watched me grow for years. I wish she could see me more, but that's not happening. Pdoc is pretty empathetic and compassionate.
