After a house fire, Asher has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Las Cruces Counselling Collective cost $120 each. Asher 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 Asher 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 Asher, 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 $1,455 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $1,250 • Psychiatric assessment: $200 • Workbook and resources: $5 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
