After the loss of my brother, Maria has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Ribeirão Preto cost $25 each.
Maria 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 Maria 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 Maria, 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 $855 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $740
• Psychiatric assessment: $110
• Workbook and resources: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.
