Therapy fund for Karina: 20 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of EMDR therapy for Karina could change everything; the cost is $1,600.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,407 views
After a violent robbery, Karina has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Los Angeles cost $130 each.
Karina 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 Karina 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 Karina, 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 $1,600 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,400
• Psychiatric assessment: $180
• Workbook and resources: $20
Thank you for reading my story.

I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings!
Thanks for sharing this, Marisol. This could happen to any of us. Blessings
Hang in there, Marisol. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up
Sending good thoughts, Marisol. Wishing Karina a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Los Angeles
wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
