Hi all, hope this is in the right forum, if not please move it. 🙂  
The question is the same as the thread title.

Do you know of a good Psychologist or Psychiatrist in Calgary you would recommend?

It’s not for me but for a rather good friend.

Thanks.

I’m in Calgary AND see a therapist. Can you tell me what problem your friend is facing? My therapist is a bit specific in what she deals with, but she’s wonderful and I’ve been seeing her for about six years.

Depression is the problem. If that’s not what your therapist deals with perhaps she knows some others that are good, if you could ask.

I don’t have a suggestion for an individual (and in any case it would have to be very dependent on the issues in question), but does Foothills hospital or one of the other hospitals (Foothills is the only Calgary hospital whose name I remember) have a psychiatric assessment clinic? I just went to one in Edmonton at the U of A Hospital and got referred that way.
