Therapy fund for Andrea: 20 sessions with a licensed counselor
Andrea is working through a violent robbery and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇯🇲 Kingston, Kingston, Jamaica1,108 views
After a violent robbery, Andrea has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Kingston Counselling Collective cost $30 each.
Andrea 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 Andrea 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 Andrea, 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 $400 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $310
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Andrea
20 therapy sessions is $310 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Kingston. I'll ask around and let you know
thanks for sharing this, Althea. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
