After the loss of my brother, Ana has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $2,450.

After the loss of my brother, 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 Los Angeles Counselling Collective cost $65 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 20 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 $2,450 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $2,000 • Psychiatric assessment: $390 • Workbook and resources: $60 Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Ana

  1. Update from Los Angeles: the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. We're at 34% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings!

    • keep going, Ana. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Sent it to 34 people at work.

      • thanks for sharing this, Ana. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. All the best
