Always look forward to my sessions.
Daiana Jumuga
Daiana is a great listener, very empathetic towards my situation. She tries to come up with various ways to identify the problem and provide a solution.
Thomas Theodosiou
I love how deeply he goes into what I say. The questions he asks to teach how I really feel about everything is immensely helpful.
Kelsey Gibbs
kelsey is great with providing some technical solutions for the topics we discussed.
Thomas Theodosiou
Though we aware following what he said. His input validated what we were doing. We did receive help with other aspects such us sibling rivalry and how to go about our child's education. I think Mr Theo is a pleasant and very helpful person. Would definitely recommend him to others.
Thomas Theodosiou
My sessions were great, my therapist is very helpful and motivating.
Beverly Fernandez
Welcoming, calming, gentle.
Manuel Torres
I had a wonderful and constructive sessions with Manuel and Fitcy. I found Manuel to be very affable and he gave me the freedom to conduct our sessions in a pace where I am comfortable, this made it easier for me to discuss things i normally would not. My counseling was intended to focus solely on my stress triggers, but Manuel dug deep into my past and origins and helped me understand my issues and myself better. I would unquestionably advise Manuel to anyone trying to work through issues in therapy since he is very light to deal with, understanding and never judgmental."
Beverly Fernandez
I am very grateful that I made my life coaching session with Ms Beverly and to your team can say Thank you very much for helping me all the way of my session. Every session has a fruitful meaning in my life journey, a journey that I get more attached with God and positivity in life. I great attachment which I will carry on from the rest of my new journey. Its sad to say that I ended up already my 4 sessions however it was replaced of enlightenment courage what life it could be. Im wishing you(Ms Beverly) and the rest of your team to help more people experiencing difficulties straggle’s in life to enlighten and courage to love their life journey more positive way and attached to Gods purpose of life. Thank you very much and Godbless us all. ♥️
Beste Aydogan
She’s amazing. Very understanding, very attentive, very smart.
Jose Tavela
Very comfy sessions and the therapist was hyper nice and knowledgeable
Nanar Iknadiossian
My sessions have been going well so far and I’m learning so much about my feelings, etc. I feel like I can count on someone when I’m dealing with problems and to see how I can cope with them.
Elena Giappa
Honestly speaking she’s probably the best therapist I’ve ever had, if you’re looking for cbt and recovery from anxiety and ptsd she’s the one to go for. But even if you’re struggling with anger and depression, separation, commitment, family and relationship problems she’s the one to go for. I tried so many different online services and offline similarly but started to give up until I actually gave fitcy health a go who matched me up with Elena. I’ve improved a lot even my friends and family notice it. No words would describe how much I really appreciate what Elena does and has done so far. I was dreading the feedback part because I was afraid of not having much time with her but seriously I wouldn’t want those who also need the help to miss out on what she has to offer and the management told me I don’t have to worry about that 😂. Elena, you are amazing!
Suzanne Helmy
Suzzanne is a good listener… Try her best to guide me through the therapy journey but with no judgment and with great support without making me feel negative about me or about my partner.
Naina Kapoor
"Naina has been just amazing at what she does. She's always on her toes to figure out a way for all the problems I face.."
Gaston Molina
I am grateful to have a safe, non judgmental, healthy space where I can fully be myself
Emilia Chawa
I am so relieved with her, she understand where I come from, also she respect my way of expressing things, she is very easy discussing my ideas, the homework she gave helps me to open my heart and mind for different direction, am attending to continue with her for more seasons.
George Saade
"My sessions were very good. He is very caring and he listened carefully and I felt comfortable. He never saw himself someone who is better than me or look down in me. Actually, that was the most important thing to me. He showed me his interest in listening to me and that he understand what I felt which made me feel relive"
Gaston Molina
Gaston listens and gives advice in a non-judgmental and kind way. He makes me realize and understand different point of views and helps me think differently from what I’m accustomed to.
Fatima
Very well done. Fatima helped me through a lot.
Nathasha Sharma
I have been putting therapy off for about 2 years. I've always had anxiety, and occasional panic attacks due to a lot of internal and external issues with life, and basically adulthood. The catalyst was actually starting my new job. It was a whole shift and I had to make major adjustments with my life and relationships. I'm only 2 months in, and already handling more than what I'm supposed to. I found myself crying day in and day out because of this, and I would isolate myself away from family. Nathasha listened with an open mind and heart, and had compassion and empathy. She gave me tips on how to better handle myself in situations during a panic/anxiety attack, and communication tips with my boss (who is my biggest obstacle at the moment). It's only been one session, but I can't wait for the next!
Daniela
Amazing, has helped me work through lots of things, attentive and very supportive.
Gaston
honestly idk where to start, fitcy helped me find gastón and he saved my life, i have been looking for affordable therapy for soo long and for years i wasn’t able to find until i found fitcy, then found my amazing therapist gastón, i love how flexible fitcy and gastón are
Christina P
She is an excellent psychologist, really smart and insightful. She is definitely well-experienced as a psychologist as she able to understand and respond very well to my thoughts and emotions. I would definitely recommend her.
Fatima
The sessions were really helpful, it made me understand myself more and I had a noticeable improvement with my mental health.
Gaston Molina
Seeing therapists can be daunting, Gaston makes it easy. He gets it, is able to help me break things down and work through everything, he’s brilliant!
Frequenty Asked Questions
Fitcy Psychologist helps their anxiety patients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it's the most effective treatment method for anxiety disorders. Usually, CBT treatment allows you to deal with anxiety symptoms, makes your life easier, and helps you face upcoming activities.
Fitcy anxiety therapists are well trained and certified with decades of experience with anxiety disorder patients. Using different CBT tools and techniques, most patients can deal with their anxiety symptoms in a few months and by having consistent therapist sessions.
Crucial experiences in adulthood, adolescence, or childhood will mainly trigger the patient's anxiety problem. Trauma at an early age will have a big impact on your future life. Mainly anxiety problems can be triggered by physical and emotional abuse.
The four anxiety stages are mild, moderate, severe, and panic-level anxiety and the level of distress and impairment will classify it.
What is the Meaning of Anxiety?
Anxiety is a normal reaction to a stressful situation. It is marked by fear, nervousness, tension, apprehension, and worry. In moderate amounts, anxiety is helpful for survival. It allows you to be prepared and attentive.
However, it is when anxiety levels run very that it becomes problematic and takes the form of anxiety disorder.
What are Anxiety Disorders?
Anxiety disorders are remarked by prolonged periods of anxiety, that take a toll on the mood, mind, and physical health. Anxiety disorders can be extremely disruptive and have a grave impact on the emotional health of the person.
What are the Different Types of Anxiety Disorders?
There are several types of anxiety disorders, including:
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
GAD causes extreme worry, even when there is no obvious cause for it. People with GAD tend to feel anxious about a wide range of issues, which is why anxiety becomes perpetual for them. It especially causes restlessness, palpitations, and sleep problems.
Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is associated with not just experiencing panic attacks but also feeling anxious about getting one in the future as well. In some situations, a panic attack might be triggered, but it may have a sudden onset as well.
Phobia
A phobia is a heightened and excessive fear of an object, situation, activity, person, or animal. Some people might become very anxious at the prospect of coming across their phobia and may also then make changes to their lives to avoid them.
Separation Anxiety Disorder
Separation anxiety disorder causes an intense and irrational fear of getting separated from the person to whom you are attached with. It can also lead to unhealthy attachments. While it is more common in children, it may occur in adults as well.
Social Anxiety Disorder
As the name also suggests, social anxiety disorder stems from social interaction. People with social anxiety have a fear of public censure and are thus extremely self-conscious in public. Many then avoid social gatherings altogether
What are the Symptoms of Anxiety Disorder?
While the exact presentation of anxiety symptoms is dependent on the type of anxiety disorder that you have, some commonly observed symptoms of anxiety disorder include:
- Agitation
- Breathing problems
- Dry mouth
- Fatigue
- Irritable disposition
- Miscellaneous aches and pains
- Nausea
- Racing heart
- Sleep problems, including nightmares
- Spiraling into negative thoughts
- Tension in the body
- Unease
- What is an anxiety attack?
- An anxiety attack is an intense worry that sets in response to a triggering situation. It can percolate over time, and lead to physical as well as mental symptoms.
The experience of an anxiety attack is subjective, so different people may observe different symptoms of anxiety.
The common anxiety attack symptoms include:
- Arrhythmia and pounding heart
- Breathing problem
- Body aches
- Disorientation
- Nausea
- Restlessness
- Skewed thoughts
- Tingling sensation
What are the Causes of Anxiety?

- Chronic stress
- Substance or alcohol abuse
- History of emotional or physical abuse
- Family history of anxiety disorders
- Hyperactivity in the areas of the brain that control emotions and behavior
- Imbalance in the chemicals of the brain
- Physical health issues, especially long-term ones that cause pain
- Mental health problems like depression, PTSD, etc.
- Triggering situations or traumatic events

How to Know if You Have Anxiety?
If you have the following signs of anxiety, then you need to seek help from an expert via Fitcy Health for a diagnosis. Anxiety signs to observe include:
- Your worrying is disruptive and interferes with your ability to function normally
- Your worrying is causing you a lot of stress
- Your worrying is chronic; even if there is no obvious trigger, you manage to get riled up over one thing or the other.
- Your scope of worry is far and wide; from things you can control to those you cannot control; everything causes you to worry.
- Your worrying leads to the physical and mental symptoms of anxiety.
How to Cure and Treat Anxiety?
The treatment of anxiety involves:
Psychotherapy Therapy
Exposure and cognitive behavioral therapy are recommended for anxiety management.
Medication
Some people might be given anxiety medicine, which is generally either antidepression or antianxiety medication.
Supporting Techniques
Stress management, support groups and lifestyle interventions are also helpful for anxiety management.
How to Stop an Anxiety Attack?
Anxiety attacks generally are not sudden and take their time to subside. Some people confuse panic attacks with anxiety attacks, but in either case, you need to manage the symptoms and ride the wave as they cannot be avoided per se.
During a panic attack, it helps to practice deep breathing. Focusing your attention elsewhere, especially by repeating a mantra, is also effective in helping the body ride out the attack.
How to Calm Down After an Anxiety Attack?
Calming down in the face of an anxiety attack requires continuous effort and support. As anxiety tends to last for as long as the situation that triggered it lasts, unlike a panic attack which spans a few minutes, therefore, the care protocol is comprehensive.
Some helpful things to help you calm down after experiencing anxiety attack symptoms include:
- Avoiding your triggers
- Breathing exercises
- Exercising
- Practicing relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
- Reaching out to loved ones for help and support

Eating Well
A healthy and balanced diet is important for your emotional and physical health.
Being Healthy
Cut back on smoking, alcohol, and other substances that not only increase anxiety but jeopardize your health otherwise as well.
Exercising
Physical exercise helps in improving your mood and decreasing your stress levels.
Finding Relaxation Techniques That Works for You
Experiment with different relaxation techniques like meditation, hypnosis, mindfulness, etc., and see which works best for you in controlling symptoms of anxiety.
Taking Breaks
Normalize taking breaks when your mental health is suffering.
Socializing
Talking to people can be of help unless of course, you have social anxiety, in which case, you can venture out as per your comfort level.
Understanding Your Triggers
It is important that you know your triggers. While you cannot always avoid them, you can take precautions when you are in contact with them, so the symptoms of anxiety are not very severe then.

Get help from professionals at Fitcy health. Experts can help you understand anxiety causes, but also teach you how to respond healthily. They are also easily available through the messaging service, so help is always around the corner.
