Yong's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Toronto

After a difficult divorce, Yong has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at Toronto Wellbeing Centre cost $100 each. Yong has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Yong could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Yong, and we're 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 $2,200 goes: • 20 therapy sessions: $2,000 • Psychiatric assessment: $150 • Workbook and resources: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Qian

Updates from Qian

  1. Quick update: $772 raised so far (35%). I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,157 in total) the plan for workbook and resources is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
