Reach out to Calgary Counselling Centre. Fill out the intake form asking for in-person counselling. Have a counsellor reach out the next day offering largely remote counselling. They have a day a week with in-person so I ask for that. I don't hear back. Reach out to the counsellor again. They give a few times for in-person and I agree to them. I don't hear back. Then today they send out an invite for remote counselling.
Like, you want me to spend $200 an hour opening up about my struggles when you won't even listen to my damn appointment preference? Starting the search again I guess.

Private counseling is around $220, you are better off using the resources I mentioned here to get started:

This way you actually get to pick. You need a counselor you can work with, and if you just randomly get assigned the next available person, well, it's a total gamble and in my mind a bit of a waste of time(after being through a few). It's no risk lining up a few 15 minute phone calls to get a feel for who you will be talking to for the next...long time!
