After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Spanish Town Wellbeing Centre cost $25 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 $465 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $410
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $5
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Patrice. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Spanish Town.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Patrice.
It's all in the list in the story. 24 therapy sessions is the big one at $410, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Warsaw
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Berlin but we're thinking of you.
Stay strong, Patrice. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
