After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Riverside Counselling Collective cost $110 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 $2,250 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,850
• Psychiatric assessment: $380
• Workbook and resources: $20
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Hazel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($226 in total) I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Riverside: I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. We're at 7% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hazel!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 12 therapy sessions comes first ($1,850) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Good luck, Hazel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Hazel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
good luck, Hazel. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Riverside.
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings!
