After burnout at work, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Sherbrooke Wellbeing Centre cost $105 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 20 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 $1,900 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $410
• Workbook and resources: $40
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Sophie. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
