After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Addis Ababa Wellbeing Centre cost $15 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 24 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $300 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $240 • Psychiatric assessment: $25 • Workbook and resources: $35 Thank you for reading my story.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eleni.

      The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 24 therapy sessions is the biggest at $240. It helps to be asked.

  • Fenna Anna Van Dam

    Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Hồ Chí Minh City donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
