i'm sorry you're having issues finding long term therapy. In Canada, most long term stuff isn't covered by health care, and it's difficult to find it. I've been between agencies piecing together counselling here for a bit, there for a bit and back again. Luckily I've found a medical psychotherapist who is covered by healthcare and can work with me longer term.

It might be a good idea to call a healtcare number and ask them what titles and agencies to look into who can provide long term, and then start an internet search with the proper title. In Canada a psychologist is not covered but a medical psychotherapist is, so learning the specific title helped me find them. I just googled "Medical psychotherapist Ontario" and was able to find a few options to look into.

Most likely you will be in for a waiting period, if your healthcare is anything like ours, but at least it's a start. Short term therapy could help while you're waiting for a longer term support, it could help you manage the day to day stuff that is causing issues at the moment.

All the best!!
