Therapy fund for Sandra: 20 sessions with a licensed counselor
Sandra is working through the death of both parents and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.
🇧🇷 Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil1,382 views
After the death of both parents, Sandra has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Recife Counselling Collective cost $20 each.
Sandra 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 Sandra could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sandra, 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 $650 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $520
• Psychiatric assessment: $100
• Workbook and resources: $30
