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!
Frequently Asked Questions
Research has consistently shown a strong link between suicide and depression, with 90% of the people who die by suicide having an existing mental illness or substance abuse problem at the time of their death.
As depression deepens and takes over the body and mind, the pain of depression often becomes overwhelming. The chemical imbalance and deep despair can lead the brain to try and find ways to end the pain. This is when suicidal thinking begins. Depressive illnesses can distort thinking such that a person can’t think clearly or rationally. The illness can cause thoughts of hopelessness and helplessness, which may lead to suicidal thoughts. Education about the symptoms of depression and the warning signs of suicide help people understand that depression and related depressive illnesses are both preventable and treatable.
Sure, they can and sometimes do. But we can all be more aware of the signs and symptoms of depression to help those we care about get the necessary treatment to relieve them of their pain. Plus, because many people who are depressed can not see their symptoms, we have to be their eyes and ears for them to help SAVE their life. Many people suffering from depression and even contemplating suicide hide their feelings and appear to be happy just prior to their suicide attempt. This often confuses the people around them since for so long they had been suffering and appearing depressed, then all of a sudden seem better. However, most of the time a person who is suicidal will give clues as to how desperate they feel. It is critical that you familiarize yourself with the symptoms of depression and the warning signs of suicide, and not be afraid to ask direct questions about feelings of the person you’re concerned about-it could be what save’s their life!
