Help Zoe afford 12 counseling sessions

A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Zoe could change everything; the cost is $1,600.

After a difficult divorce, Zoe 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 Regina Wellbeing Centre cost $85 each. Zoe 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 Zoe could afford. The therapist recommends 12 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Zoe, 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 $1,600 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,100 • Psychiatric assessment: $470 • Workbook and resources: $30 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Samantha

Updates from Samantha

  1. Small update. $837 so far, the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($690 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Outstanding person

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
