Miami
After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Miami Wellbeing Centre cost $110 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 $2,100 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $1,650 • Psychiatric assessment: $380 • Workbook and resources: $70 Thanks for being kind about this.

      good luck, Kimberly. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
