Kinondoni
After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Kinondoni Counselling Collective cost $15 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. The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record. Where the $450 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $380 • Psychiatric assessment: $40 • Workbook and resources: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kamau

    Hope things get better soon, Kamau. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

          Stay strong. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
