Manal is working through the death of both parents and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Riyadh cost $85 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 $1,400 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,250
• Psychiatric assessment: $120
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending strength, Manal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Iztapalapa.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Manal
Sure. The biggest one is 12 therapy sessions, $1,250. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. Love from Bogor
Wishing you peace. Get well soon. Blessings
You're not alone, Manal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Wrocław.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Manal?
Thank you. If you're in Riyadh I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
thinking of you and your family, Manal. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Sending good thoughts, Manal. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

Sending good thoughts, Manal. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Stay strong, Manal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
hang in there, Manal. This could happen to any of us. Take care
