After burnout at work, Joaquim has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Niterói Counselling Collective cost $25 each. Joaquim 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 Joaquim 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 Joaquim, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $600 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $470 • Psychiatric assessment: $105 • Workbook and resources: $25 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gabriela
