Therapy fund for Itzel: 20 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of EMDR therapy for Itzel could change everything; the cost is $1,450.

After years of caregiving, Itzel has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Madrid Counselling Collective cost $45 each.
Itzel has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Itzel 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 Itzel, 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 $1,450 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $220
• Workbook and resources: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is 20 therapy sessions the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. 20 therapy sessions is the big one at $1,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
