Mental health support for Angela after a violent robbery
A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Angela could change everything; the cost is $1,550.
🇮🇹 Milan, Lombardy, Italy1,385 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 6 months, and private sessions at the Milan Counselling Collective cost $60 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 $1,550 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,250
• Psychiatric assessment: $260
• Workbook and resources: $40
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Stay strong, Angela. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from São Paulo.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Seoul.
Thinking of you and your family, Angela. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Milan.
Thinking of you and your family, Angela. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope things get better soon, Angela. Get well soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
