After a car accident, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Salvador Counselling Collective cost $35 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $405 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $280
• Psychiatric assessment: $120
• Workbook and resources: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Júlia
Wanted to say thank you properly. 95% funded and the first invoice got paid this week.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($154 in total) I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Salvador: I made the first payment toward workbook and resources. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

thinking of you, Júlia. Shared it with a few friends.
what's already covered and what's the $405 for?
24 therapy sessions is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Good luck, Júlia. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
hope it all works out, Júlia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Vadodara donated after I showed her your page. Blessings!
hang in there, Júlia. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
