What People say After the First Session 😍
Jana M'hanna
First time from a long time to speak to someone understand me without talking alot
Thomas Theodosiou
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
Existential crises can be triggered by deep grief, a significant event, a major loss, or a trauma. It can happen when a person experiences the major loss of a close family member, losing a loved one in death, or having guilt about something.
Existential crises are not directly recognized as mental illnesses or mental health conditions. The consistent crisis will put you in depression and anxiety, directly affect your health, and trigger serious mental disorders. The psychologist recommends you get some counseling sessions when dealing with severe grief or extensional crisis.
An existential crisis can last for some days or even for some years, but the intensity of existential crisis emotion will probably be lower over time. It varies from person to person, and some people are more sensitive than others; it also depends on your connection with your loved ones.
An existential crisis is normal human behavior, but when it’s turning to depression or affecting your overall health, it will harm you. It needs to go away and lower the intensity on some days, but if it keeps steady and you’re still stuck in it, then it needs to be treated by a certified existential crisis therapist.
What is an Existential Crisis?
Existential crisis is the confusion and questions that swarm our minds regarding our purpose in life. It leads to people becoming perplexed about what they want from life, what their values are, what is the purpose of everything, and what they are doing with their lives.
Often, an existential crisis is brought on by serious events like death, loss, or a setback in life. An existential crisis in young adults is particularly common, as it is a very perplexing time in people’s lives.
What Does it Mean to Have an Existential Crisis?
As the term existential crisis is used colloquially often, the meaning of existential crisis can vary from person to person. For some, it can be dissatisfaction with where you are in life because you are stuck. For others, dissatisfaction can be brought on by following wrong pursuits.
Remarked by agitation, sadness, and lots of perplexing thoughts, an existential crisis has a trigger. It could be something serious like a loved one’s death, or something banal as well, like thinking about where your peers are and where you are in life.
A good existential crisis example was the coronavirus pandemic; when the world suddenly shut down, many people started to have panicking thoughts about the purpose of their life, which led to an existential crisis.
What are the Common Issues Associated with an Existential Crisis?
Some of the common themes of an existential crisis include:
- Problems of authenticity
- Major life event
- Death and loss
- Meaning of life
- Fear
- Responsibility
What Does An Existential Crisis Feel Like?

How to Deal with and Treat an Existential Crisis?
While an existential crisis may feel very overwhelming, there are things you can do when you are having an existential crisis. These not only teach you how to get over an existential crisis but also contain your answers as to how to stop an existential crisis. Some helpful steps include:
Shift Your Perspective
Your mindset determines the outcome of things; you can either wallow in misery or use it to fuel your determination. Take it as a failure or use it as a learning moment. So, shift your perspective to look for the good in situations. It will help you feel less dissatisfied with your life, whilst helping you be motivated to do better.
Write Your Goals
Ideas in our heads can be abstract. To achieve what you want, and to get over your current lack of performance, make goals for yourself, achieving which gives you pleasure. These do not have to be merely about your career but can also be about more meaningful things in life.
Talk to Other People
Feeling isolated can exacerbate the crisis. So, connect with people. It will help you feel better not just because social contact lessens stress, but loneliness can also cause more mental health problems.
Also, from afar, people’s lives seem to be perfect, which can make yours appear drearier by comparison. It is when you talk to people can hear about their struggles do you gain perspective.
Read Up
There are many existential crisis books that help people center themselves. These may include guidelines for to deal with an existential crisis or may center around altering our worldview.
Be Grateful
A lot of the time, our dissatisfaction is rooted in lack of acknowledgement for what we have and complaints about what we do not. So, to be more humble and grateful, count your blessings. It not only promotes contentment and empathy, but it also makes you less sad and aggressive.
Leave the Cycle of Regret
If you continue living the past, chances are you are going to ruin your present and even future as well. So, rather than ruminating over past mistakes, learn to leave the cycle of regret. The practice of mindfulness can help you be more present in the now, instead of dwelling futilely in the past.
Go Back to the Basics
If you are not happy with your life, go back to the drawing board. Try to change your approach to working, so that you can achieve greater results. Find your happiness and strengths and play on them then. Redirect your energy to what fulfills you.
Get Therapy
It also helps to get therapy, especially since an existential crisis can lead to problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. As there are low energy levels during an existential crisis, remote counseling at Fitcy Health is very convenient.
You can also choose from various packages, which are priced competitively. Moreover, you can also message your therapist whenever you are accosted with poor mental health.
Turn to Writing
Writing is a cathartic experience. When you pen your thoughts, not only do you become more introspective, but you can also pinpoint what exactly is causing you problems. You can then produce a game plan, rather than being inactive and stressed.
Meditation and Mindfulness
As an existential crisis can cause chaos in the mind, turning to meditation and mindfulness can help. They are good for dealing with negative thoughts, improving mood, and lowing stress levels.
How to Help Someone Get Out of an Existential Crisis?
Some things you can do to help those around you having an existential crisis include:
- Be there for them
- Hear them out, always
- Do not make their comparisons with yourself or others
- Encourage them to get help via Fitcy Health
