Maria's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Fresno
A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Maria could change everything; the cost is $2,200.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States1,698 views
After a long hospital stay, 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 11 months, and private sessions at the Fresno Counselling Collective cost $140 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 24 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,700
• Psychiatric assessment: $450
• Workbook and resources: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
