After a car accident, Paisley has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Birmingham cost $55 each. Paisley has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Paisley could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Paisley, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $1,600 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,400 • Psychiatric assessment: $140 • Workbook and resources: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Alice
