Piraeus
After a house fire, Theodora has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Piraeus Wellbeing Centre cost $55 each. Theodora 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 Theodora could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Theodora, 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 $1,000 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $840 • Psychiatric assessment: $125 • Workbook and resources: $35 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
