Derek's path to healing - family counseling in Oakland

After the loss of my brother, Derek has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Oakland Wellbeing Centre cost $115 each. Derek has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Derek could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Derek, 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 $2,000 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,550 • Psychiatric assessment: $410 • Workbook and resources: $40 Every share and every dollar helps. - Arianna
