After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the San Francisco Counselling Collective cost $130 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 10 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 $1,550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $1,200
• Psychiatric assessment: $290
• Workbook and resources: $60
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
stay strong, Manuel. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of San Francisco
hang in there, Manuel. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Obuasi but we're thinking of you
thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of San Francisco.
Thinking of you, Manuel. This could happen to any of us. Love from Cartagena
Rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Greetings from Glasgow
