Lúcia is working through the death of both parents and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After the death of both parents, Lúcia has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in São Paulo cost $40 each.
Lúcia 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 Lúcia could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Lúcia, 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 $455 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $380
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, José. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you peace, José. Your post was clear and honest!
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of São Paulo
sending strength, José. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Thinking of you, José. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
