Wellington's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in São Paulo
After the death of both parents, Wellington has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $610.

After the death of both parents, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 8 months, and private sessions at São Paulo 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 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.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $610 goes:
• 12 therapy sessions: $540
• Psychiatric assessment: $65
• Workbook and resources: $5
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
