Renata's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Niterói
Renata is working through years of caregiving and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After years of caregiving, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Niterói cost $20 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 12 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $505 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $440
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $5
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Renata. Get well soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

Stay strong, Renata. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
What's already covered and what's the $505 for?
It's all in the list in the story. 12 therapy sessions is the big one at $440, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
You're not alone, Renata. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
