Marían is working through burnout at work and needs help paying for 12 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇺🇸 Ohio, United States1,693 views
After burnout at work, 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 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Toledo cost $90 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 12 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 $2,200 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,900
• Psychiatric assessment: $240
• Workbook and resources: $60
With deep gratitude,
María

look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Toledo.
Thinking of you, María. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in London this morning. All the best.
How is María doing now?
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Quezon City.
Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Take care, María. Get well soon. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Take care!
