Therapy fund for İpek: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of EMDR therapy for İpek could change everything; the cost is $550.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Türkiye1,141 views
After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Antalya cost $25 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $470
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $15
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help İpek?
