After years of caregiving, Imani has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Kakamega Counselling Collective cost $10 each. Imani 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 Imani could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Imani, 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 $400 goes: β€’ 16 therapy sessions: $350 β€’ Psychiatric assessment: $35 β€’ Workbook and resources: $15 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Bakari
