What are the best organizations to get a fully-trained psychiatric service dog?

I live in Southern California and suffer from severe depression and an anxiety disorder making life very difficult. I have been advised that receiving a psychiatric service dog would improve my quality of life, but am having tremendous difficulty locating a good program. I've already looked through listings, researched for weeks, etc. Please provide specific programs for me to consider, not just a place I can find more listings. Thank you in advance!

Hi - this forum is largely a UK one so you would probably find the information you need on one that is more used by US people?
Good luck with your search btw.

Have you looked at Assistance Dogs (on the site which dare not speak its name)?

There is, if I remember correctly (cannot access at the mo) a Dogs for Depression therapy group and training program.
