Therapy fund for Miguel: 16 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of EMDR therapy for Miguel could change everything; the cost is $650.
🇨🇴 Bogotá D.C., Colombia413 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Bogotá cost $20 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 16 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 $650 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $550
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $30
I hope life is good to you.
