Therapy fund for Mpho: 20 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of family counseling for Mpho could change everything; the cost is $450.
🇿🇦 Johannesburg, Gauteng, South AfricaPosted Oct 1, 20261,955 views
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Johannesburg Counselling Collective cost $30 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 20 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 $450 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $390
• Psychiatric assessment: $50
• Workbook and resources: $10
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mpho?
Thank you. If you're in Johannesburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mpho.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings

Stay strong, Mpho. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
