Therapy fund for Alexander: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of weekly cognitive behavioral therapy for Alexander could change everything; the cost is $1,150.

After the miscarriage, Alexander has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Sydney Counselling Collective cost $105 each.
Alexander has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Alexander could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Alexander, and we're 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 $1,150 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $900
• Psychiatric assessment: $185
• Workbook and resources: $65
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
