Alexa's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Los Angeles
Alexa is working through a long hospital stay and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇺🇸 California, United States2,011 views
After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Los Angeles Wellbeing Centre cost $75 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $2,050
• Psychiatric assessment: $430
• Workbook and resources: $70
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($533 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you, Alexa. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Get well soon. After 23 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Kazan.
Take care, Alexa. Get well soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
