Derry
After a difficult divorce, Kennedy 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 a private practice in Derry cost $65 each. Kennedy 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 Kennedy could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Kennedy, and we're 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 $1,400 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,200 • Psychiatric assessment: $180 • Workbook and resources: $20 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

      Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Derry.

      • Hassan Babar HashmiQuestion

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kennedy!

        • Cooper S. RossOwnerAnswerID verified

          24 therapy sessions is $1,200 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.

      • Otávio Sérgio Farias

        So sorry you're going through this, Cooper. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.

        • Svetlana Valentyna Bondarenko

          hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
