After a difficult divorce, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at the San Diego Counselling Collective cost $85 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 24 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $890
• Psychiatric assessment: $260
• Workbook and resources: $50
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoey!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. 24 therapy sessions is the biggest at $890. Appreciate you taking the time.
thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hang in there, Zoey. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
So sorry you're going through this, Zoey. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted.
sending strength, Zoey. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Tangier but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Tangier.
