Renata's path to healing - family counseling in São Paulo
A course of family counseling for Renata could change everything; the cost is $750.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil1,068 views
After a violent robbery, Renata has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in São Paulo cost $20 each.
Renata 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 Renata 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 Renata, 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 $750 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $640
• Psychiatric assessment: $90
• Workbook and resources: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Cairo.
Take care, Fernando. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. After 9 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Saint Petersburg
