After the loss of my brother, Simon has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Cologne cost $70 each.
Simon has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Simon 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 Simon, 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 $1,350 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,050
• Psychiatric assessment: $290
• Workbook and resources: $10
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care, Julia. Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Simon?
Thank you. If you're in Cologne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
