Mental health support for Ayumi after a violent robbery

After a violent robbery, Ayumi has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Kobe cost $65 each. Ayumi 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 Ayumi 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 Ayumi, 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 $1,850 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $1,650 • Psychiatric assessment: $180 • Workbook and resources: $20 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yuna
