After bullying at school, Sheldon has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at the Spanish Town Counselling Collective cost $35 each.
Sheldon has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Sheldon could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Sheldon, 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 $610 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $500
• Psychiatric assessment: $105
• Workbook and resources: $5
I hope life is good to you.

What's already covered and what's the $610 for?
16 therapy sessions is $500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
Wishing you the best, Dwayne. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Spanish Town
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Spanish Town
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 16 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too.
Wishing you the best. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City!
