Therapy fund for Salma: 10 sessions with a licensed counselor
A course of trauma-focused CBT for Salma could change everything; the cost is $365.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Egypt697 views
After years of caregiving, Salma has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Heliopolis cost $15 each.
Salma 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 Salma could afford. The therapist recommends 10 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Salma, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $365 goes:
• 10 therapy sessions: $300
• Psychiatric assessment: $60
• Workbook and resources: $5
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
