Help Shawn afford 24 counseling sessions
Shawn is working through the loss of my brother and needs help paying for 24 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada1,160 views
After the loss of my brother, Shawn has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Mississauga Counselling Collective cost $120 each.
Shawn 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 Shawn 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 Shawn, 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: $1,800
• Psychiatric assessment: $380
• Workbook and resources: $70
Thanks for reading all this.
Updates from Raymond
Small update. $198 so far, the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($139 in total) the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
