After a long hospital stay, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Birmingham cost $65 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 12 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 $2,150 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $1,850
• Psychiatric assessment: $270
• Workbook and resources: $30
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you and your family, Willow. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Birmingham.
Thinking of you, Willow. Shared this with my family!
Take care, Willow. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thanks for sharing this, Willow. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Springfield.
Sending good thoughts, Willow. Hope the doctors have good news. Blessings.
