Unathi is working through military deployment and needs help paying for 20 sessions with a licensed counselor.

After military deployment, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at the Johannesburg Counselling Collective cost $15 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm 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 $565 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $460
• Psychiatric assessment: $100
• Workbook and resources: $5
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

What exactly is the $565 for?
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 20 therapy sessions is the biggest at $460. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you, Unathi. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
