Ximena's path to healing - trauma-focused CBT in Sherbrooke
After a house fire, Ximena has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $1,700.

After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to trauma-focused CBT, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Sherbrooke Wellbeing Centre cost $130 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 $1,700 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $1,350
• Psychiatric assessment: $320
• Workbook and resources: $30
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Ximena. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Los Angeles.
