Rafael is working through military deployment and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States1,474 views
After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at a private practice in San Jose cost $70 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 $1,900 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $1,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $400
• Workbook and resources: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Rafael. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Rafael. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
hang in there, Rafael. Get well soon. After 26 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Take care, Rafael. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
so sorry you're going through this, Rafael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
