Half-Way Tree
After a long hospital stay, Michael has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Half-Way Tree Counselling Collective cost $30 each. Michael 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 Michael 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 Michael, 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 $655 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $590 • Psychiatric assessment: $60 • Workbook and resources: $5 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Errol

  1. Small update. $100 so far, I made the first payment toward 16 therapy sessions.

  2. Update from Half-Way Tree: I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. We're at 8% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us. - Errol
