Saint Petersburg
After a violent robbery, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at Saint Petersburg Wellbeing Centre cost $30 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 16 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 $450 goes: • 16 therapy sessions: $300 • Psychiatric assessment: $120 • Workbook and resources: $30 Thanks for being kind about this. - Valentyna

Updates from Valentyna

  1. Small update. $209 so far, I made the first payment toward 16 therapy sessions.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($109 in total) I made the first payment toward psychiatric assessment. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($89 in total) the plan for psychiatric assessment is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Valentyna?

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about 16 therapy sessions, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.

    Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

      Thinking of you and your family. Hope the doctors have good news. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Kelowna.

        Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
