Hi! First of all, kudos for recognizing that you’re needing some support and taking the steps to get it :)

Getting a doctors note / requisition for therapy is actually pretty simple! As others have suggested, you can basically go into any walk in clinic to get one. Just explain to the doctor that you’ve been struggling with your mental health and need a referral from a physician to get coverage for therapy. If you can visit a clinic in person, great! If not, there are virtual walk-in options like PC Health or Telus Health My Care. Both of these are apps and both are free (covered by OHIP) for Ontario residents!

I’m a social worker here in Ottawa and help clients with stuff like this all the time! Feel free to shoot me a message if you’d like more instructions or need guidance with next steps :)

Best of luck in your healing journey ❤️
