After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the San Diego 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 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 $1,700 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,350 • Psychiatric assessment: $320 • Workbook and resources: $30 Thank you so much.

Updates from Maya

  1. Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($335). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($230 in total) the plan for 24 therapy sessions is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. - Maya
