Therapy fund for Isla: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of trauma-focused CBT for Isla could change everything; the cost is $2,950.

After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Springfield Counselling Collective cost $60 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 $2,950 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $2,500
• Psychiatric assessment: $410
• Workbook and resources: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
