Sumaiya's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Bengaluru

After a car accident, Sumaiya has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Bengaluru cost $15 each. Sumaiya 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 Sumaiya could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sumaiya, 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 $250 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $175 • Psychiatric assessment: $45 • Workbook and resources: $30 Thank you so much. - Rahim
