Mental health support for Marcus after the death of both parents
After the death of both parents, Marcus has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,500.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States1,331 views
After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Anaheim cost $95 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 24 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,100
• Psychiatric assessment: $370
• Workbook and resources: $30
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Nashville this morning. Thinking of Anaheim
Praying for you, Marcus. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Fort Portal
wishing Marcus a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
So sorry you're going through this, Marcus. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
hang in there. Hope you get there. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Love from Varanasi.
