Therapy fund for Aaron: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
Aaron is working through military deployment and needs help paying for 10 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇺🇸 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States2,327 views
After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Pittsburgh Wellbeing Centre cost $60 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 $2,300 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,850
• Psychiatric assessment: $410
• Workbook and resources: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Aaron. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Aaron. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Palmira.
Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Pittsburgh.
Hope it all works out, Aaron. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Blessings.
