A course of trauma-focused CBT for Luca could change everything; the cost is $2,250.
🇺🇸 United States2,014 views
After bullying at school, Luca has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at San Antonio Wellbeing Centre cost $70 each.
Luca 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 Luca 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 Luca, 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 $2,250 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $2,000
• Psychiatric assessment: $230
• Workbook and resources: $20
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you, Ezekiel. Hope you get there. I'll check back for the next update.
Sending good thoughts, Ezekiel. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Sent it to 8 people at work. Blessings.
wishing you the best, Ezekiel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.
Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Antonio.
Good luck, Ezekiel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from São Paulo.
