Risa's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Tokyo
After bullying at school, Risa has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,100.

After bullying at school, 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 6 months, and private sessions at the Tokyo Counselling Collective cost $80 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 24 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 $2,100 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,800
• Psychiatric assessment: $290
• Workbook and resources: $10
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 36 people at work. Love from Gazipur.
Good luck, Risa. Looking forward to the next update. Take care.
Thinking of you, Risa. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My neighbor in Albany donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
