Otávio's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Guarulhos
After a violent robbery, Otávio has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $500.

After a violent robbery, 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 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Guarulhos cost $35 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 $500 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $390
• Psychiatric assessment: $75
• Workbook and resources: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning. All the best.
