Atieno's path to healing - family counseling in Nairobi

After the loss of my brother, Atieno has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $310.

After the loss of my brother, Atieno has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Nairobi cost $25 each. Atieno 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 Atieno could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Atieno, 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 $310 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $250 • Psychiatric assessment: $55 • Workbook and resources: $5 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Irene
