Need a reccomendation for a CBT therapist in Vancouver, BC.

I need some suggestions for psychologists in Vancouver BC, preferably someone who is in the downtown area. I have no idea where to start with choosing someone and would rather not just pick someone randomly from Google.

I'm dealing with physical and emotional symptoms anxiety. I have also been having short bouts of depression. I have done a little research into generalized anxiety disorder and it seems the best next step is CBT therapy.

Can you recommend a CBT therapist for anxiety in the downtown Vancouver (BC) area?

The BCPA has an option to narrow your search of registered psychologists to your specific location and to choose therapy-approach (CBT).
The association for registered CBT therapists in Canada, CACBT, is also a good place to start. They don't have a search option but here's a list of the credentialed members per local area/province. You'd have to google them to find their contactinformation, it seems.

Physical and emotional aspects of anxiety often occur in combination with depression. CBT is a good therapy to start with and lots of therapists do that.

And you might like to check out my answer in another thread.
