Rajshahi
After the death of both parents, Rahima has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Rajshahi cost $10 each. Rahima has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Rahima 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 Rahima, 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 $250 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $220 • Psychiatric assessment: $25 • Workbook and resources: $5 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Anika

      Thank you. If you're in Rajshahi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Bang Khen this morning. God bless.

    • Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings

      • Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

          • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rahima

            • Anika ChowdhuryOwnerAnswerID verified

              Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 24 therapy sessions comes first ($220) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

          • Thinking of you and your family, Anika. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings
