Looking for a volunteer psychologist to listen
After the accident I lost the use of my legs. My pension doesn't stretch to private therapy and the public waiting list is over a year. I'm looking for a licensed professional willing to accompany me for a while, even one session a month. I'm not asking for miracles — just to be truly heard.
Anyone up for coffee with me on Thursdays?
