After burnout at work, Jan has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Berlin Counselling Collective cost $60 each.
Jan 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 Jan 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 Jan, 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 $1,750 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $270
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you so much.
Updates from Walter
Update from Berlin: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 41% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
34% there. I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($420 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

How is Jan doing now?
Keep going, Walter. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Berlin.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jan?
Thank you. If you're in Berlin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
rooting for you, Walter. Hope the doctors have good news. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jan
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 24 therapy sessions comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
wishing you peace, Walter. Get well soon. Thinking of Berlin
so sorry you're going through this, Walter. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Praying for you, Walter. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Pune.
Sending strength, Walter. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope the doctors have good news. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Hang in there. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Blessings
hope the doctors have good news. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thanks for sharing this, Walter. Looking forward to the next update.
So sorry you're going through this, Walter. This could happen to any of us
