After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the Augusta Counselling Collective cost $75 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 10 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 $2,850 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $2,450
• Psychiatric assessment: $370
• Workbook and resources: $30
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Riley. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Augusta.
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. After 12 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Best of luck, Riley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
