After the loss of my brother, Serena has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Messina cost $45 each. Serena 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 Serena could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Serena, 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 $1,150 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $880 • Psychiatric assessment: $220 • Workbook and resources: $50 Thank you so much. - Carla

        20 therapy sessions is $880 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
