Help João afford 10 counseling sessions
After burnout at work, João has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $500.

After burnout at work, João has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at São Paulo Wellbeing Centre cost $20 each.
João 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 João 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 João, 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 $500 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $410
• Psychiatric assessment: $75
• Workbook and resources: $15
With deep gratitude,
Amanda

Hope things get better soon, Amanda. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick
Take care, Amanda. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Take care. Your post was clear and honest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for João
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 10 therapy sessions is the biggest at $410. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Amanda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Obuasi.
Sending good thoughts, Amanda. Wishing João a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
