Los Angeles
After bullying at school, Clara 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 Los Angeles cost $140 each. Clara 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 Clara could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Clara, and we're 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 $2,350 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $2,000 • Psychiatric assessment: $290 • Workbook and resources: $60 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from James

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,020 in total) the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $333 raised so far (14%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
