Badagry
After burnout at work, Yewande has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Badagry cost $10 each. Yewande 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 Yewande could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Yewande, 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 $200 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $135 • Psychiatric assessment: $45 • Workbook and resources: $20 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Segun

                • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Yewande

                  • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 10 therapy sessions comes first ($135) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
