After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the San Cristóbal de las Casas Counselling Collective cost $25 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $750 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $660
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Karina.
It's all in the list in the story. 16 therapy sessions is the big one at $660, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Eugene but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Karina. Shared this with my family.
This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
Hope it all works out, Karina. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Cardiff
