Samantha's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in San Diego
Samantha is working through a house fire and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇺🇸 California, United States959 views
After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the San Diego Counselling Collective cost $110 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 10 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 $1,700 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $340
• Workbook and resources: $10
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you the best. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
