Lillian's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Oakland
After the miscarriage, Lillian has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,800.

After the miscarriage, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Oakland Counselling Collective cost $85 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 12 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $2,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $380
• Workbook and resources: $70
Thanks for reading all this.
