Polokwane
After a long hospital stay, Themba 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 a private practice in Polokwane cost $30 each. Themba 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 Themba 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 Themba, 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 $400 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $280 • Psychiatric assessment: $80 • Workbook and resources: $40 With deep gratitude, Elmarie

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Themba!

      • Elmarie A. ReddyOwnerAnswer

        The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 20 therapy sessions is the biggest at $280. Good question.
