After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at Edinburgh Wellbeing Centre cost $120 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 12 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $2,250 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,900
• Psychiatric assessment: $310
• Workbook and resources: $40
Thank you so much.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Edinburgh
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 12 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Ask me anything else.
sending strength, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Naples
Take care, Brooks. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Wishing Brooks a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Blessings.
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Wish I lived closer to Houston so I could bring a meal.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Minneapolis
Sending strength, Brooks. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
