Luciana's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Santos
Luciana is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇧🇷 Santos, São Paulo, Brazil1,520 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Santos 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 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 $750 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $670
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Luciana.
Sure. The biggest one is 12 therapy sessions, $670. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Sending good thoughts. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Leeds.
how is Luciana doing now?
Thinking of you, Luciana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
is there anything that isn't money that would help Luciana?
Thank you. If you're in Santos I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. All the best
Hope it all works out, Luciana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Thiruvananthapuram donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Luciana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Fresno.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Luciana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
Good luck, Luciana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Lucknow!
Hope it all works out, Luciana. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
