After a violent robbery, Nina has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Karlsruhe Wellbeing Centre cost $65 each. Nina 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 Nina 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 Nina, 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 $2,050 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,800 • Psychiatric assessment: $210 • Workbook and resources: $40 Thank you so much. - Lisa

  • Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

    • what exactly is the $2,050 for?

      • Lisa BauerOwnerAnswer

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 16 therapy sessions comes first ($1,800) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

    • Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Albany this morning. Thinking of Karlsruhe.

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Nina?

        • Lisa BauerOwnerAnswer

          Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 16 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. Appreciate you taking the time.

      • Hang in there, Lisa. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Berlin

        • Sending strength, Lisa. Hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Mohammedia

          • Stay strong, Lisa. Wishing Nina a smooth procedure and a full recovery.

            • Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Take care!
