Therapy fund for Shirin: 24 sessions with a licensed counselor

After a difficult divorce, Shirin has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Dhaka Counselling Collective cost $10 each. Shirin 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 Shirin 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 Shirin, 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 $305 goes: • 24 therapy sessions: $280 • Psychiatric assessment: $20 • Workbook and resources: $5 Thank you for reading my story. - Ruma
