After military deployment, Mateo has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to a structured recovery program, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Bakersfield Counselling Collective cost $105 each. Mateo has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Mateo could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Mateo, 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 $1,650 goes: โ€ข 16 therapy sessions: $1,400 โ€ข Psychiatric assessment: $195 โ€ข Workbook and resources: $55 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Pedro
