After a difficult divorce, Élodie has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Toronto Counselling Collective cost $70 each. Élodie 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 Élodie 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 Élodie, 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 $1,200 goes: • 12 therapy sessions: $840 • Psychiatric assessment: $290 • Workbook and resources: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
