Shinjuku
After a difficult divorce, Keiko has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Shinjuku Counselling Collective cost $100 each. Keiko 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 Keiko 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 Keiko, 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 $1,350 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,200 • Psychiatric assessment: $115 • Workbook and resources: $35 If you're reading this, thank you. - Akira
