Hello lovely human beings I hope the last few weeks have been easy or you have had loved ones to get you through some of the hard times. If anyone is choosing to take that step into therapy or has been looking for a therapist for a very long time and can't seem to find an affordable one or one that caters to their healing process, check out this amazing database that the amazing @gelilatgiorgis had found. You can browse the list of therapists, get in contact with them thr...ough either their email or phone number. Majority also have websites that you can check out. There are information of individual rates and waitlist times. If anyone needs support through this process, feel free to contact me in anyway possible even if that literally looks like randomly chatting with me on the bus or on roads Sending love, energy, and light your way -Tuli link: https://www.affordabletherapytoronto.com #mentalhealthmatters #affordabletherapy @ Toronto, Ontario See more
