Santarém
After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Santarém cost $35 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 24 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 $555 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $430 • Psychiatric assessment: $120 • Workbook and resources: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Mateus

Updates from Mateus

  1. We're at 23% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($313 in total) I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
