Giovana's path to healing - family counseling in Pelotas
Giovana is working through bullying at school and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After bullying at school, Giovana has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Pelotas Counselling Collective cost $30 each.
Giovana 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 Giovana 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 Giovana, 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 $550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $450
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $35
Thank you so much.

Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Jessore.
Rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. After 15 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Thủ Đức
Thinking of you. Wishing Giovana a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Vinícius. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nashik
