Aria's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Melbourne
Aria is working through a house fire and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇦🇺 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia1,625 views
After a house fire, Aria has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Melbourne Counselling Collective cost $105 each.
Aria has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Aria could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Aria, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,300
• Psychiatric assessment: $420
• Workbook and resources: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

Thinking of you and your family, Leah. This could happen to any of us
Hope it all works out, Leah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Ankara.
