Mental health support for Donna after the loss of my brother
A course of EMDR therapy for Donna could change everything; the cost is $2,650.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States2,787 views
After the loss of my brother, Donna has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in San Jose cost $120 each.
Donna 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 Donna 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 Donna, 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 $2,650 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $2,150
• Psychiatric assessment: $450
• Workbook and resources: $50

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Donna.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 12 therapy sessions is the biggest at $2,150. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this, Joshua. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 27 people at work.
wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Enugu
Hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Da Nang
