After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Chicago Counselling Collective cost $105 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 10 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $2,100
• Psychiatric assessment: $220
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you so much.

thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Chicago.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Thessaloniki
