Therapy fund for Manuela: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of EMDR therapy for Manuela could change everything; the cost is $550.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil771 views
After bullying at school, Manuela 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 the Campinas Counselling Collective cost $30 each.
Manuela 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 Manuela could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Manuela, 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 $550 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $390
• Psychiatric assessment: $130
• Workbook and resources: $30
Thank you so much.

hope things get better soon, Gustavo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
hope it all works out. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. God bless.
Rooting for you, Gustavo. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
sending good thoughts. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Don't give up. Blessings.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Campinas.
