After the loss of my brother, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Los Angeles cost $75 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 16 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 $1,900 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $1,650 • Psychiatric assessment: $230 • Workbook and resources: $20 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Lydia

  • You're not alone, Lydia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

    • hang in there. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lydia!

        • Lydia LopezOwnerAnswer

          16 therapy sessions is $1,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
