Roberto's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Ribeirão Preto
Roberto is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 16 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Ribeirão Preto Counselling Collective cost $40 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 16 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 $650 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $540
• Psychiatric assessment: $75
• Workbook and resources: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto
Wishing you peace, Roberto. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Good luck, Roberto. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. All the best
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Coyoacán.
Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
