🇺🇸 United States3,398 views
After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Austin Counselling Collective cost $85 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 $2,900 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $2,650
• Psychiatric assessment: $210
• Workbook and resources: $40
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
You're not alone, Patrick. Wishing Patrick a smooth procedure and a full recovery. We're a small family in Nha Trang but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Best of luck, Patrick. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
sending strength, Patrick. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Patrick. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Put this on a community board in Nairobi this morning. Take care
