Ellen's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Breda
Ellen is working through a car accident and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇳🇱 Netherlands3,228 views
After a car accident, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Breda Counselling Collective cost $85 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $1,550 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $175
• Workbook and resources: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Ellen
Wanted to say thank you properly. 81% funded and I made the first payment toward 12 therapy sessions.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($450 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
