San Sebastián
After a house fire, 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 San Sebastián Counselling Collective cost $70 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 10 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 $1,450 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $1,250 • Psychiatric assessment: $185 • Workbook and resources: $15 Thanks for being kind about this.
