After burnout at work, Mateus has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Rio de Janeiro cost $30 each. Mateus 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 Mateus 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 Mateus, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $650 goes: • 10 therapy sessions: $570 • Psychiatric assessment: $65 • Workbook and resources: $15 Glad we found this place.
