Zapopan

After burnout at work, Óscar has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Zapopan Counselling Collective cost $40 each. Óscar 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 Óscar could afford. The therapist recommends 24 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Óscar, 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 $700 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $580 • Psychiatric assessment: $105 • Workbook and resources: $15 Glad we found this place.

34% there. I made the first payment toward 24 therapy sessions. Thank you.
Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($177). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
