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
Fitcy counsellors use the Trauma-Focused Therapy approach to deal with traumatic patients to understand their experiences and situations and how they impact the patient physically and emotionally.
Trauma counselling will be very beneficial to stabilising your mental health damaged by past traumatic events. It can help you to deal with the past traumatic situation and help you to process your feelings and emotions.

Trauma therapy can last for about a week to 4 months, but it depends on the kind of traumatic event. Counselling can help you to face the fear of your traumatic event and help to decrease the traumatic intensity that affects your mental condition. The amount of time counseling takes generally depends on the history and effect of the event towards the patient.
What is Trauma?
Trauma is a response of an individual who has been through emotionally and physically draining experiences. The negative experiences affect the person and may lead to PTSD. The change in behavior and feelings affect cognitive, social, and emotional well-being. A series of events can cause trauma that leads to behavioral changes, emotional instability, and agitation.
The trauma symptoms include:
Getting Startled
The individual suffers from constant anxiety and gets startled without any disturbance.
Self-Destructing Habits
The person engages in self-destructing habits that cause further deterioration of health.
Sleep Issues
The individual struggles to have a healthy sleeping crisis.
Behavioral Changes
Trauma causes the individual to remain agitated and isolated.
Guilt
There is a constant feeling of guilt and shame, which affects the individual’s ability to complete their tasks and achieve life goals.
How to Heal from Trauma?
Trauma means that the individual is struggling to understand their psychological and mental state and regulate their emotions more healthily. The individual who has been through a traumatic event must:
Accept Support
People who have been through a traumatic experience keep themselves socially isolated, which can cause further distress and anxiety. Thus, people must accept support and love from close family members and friends. Sharing feelings enables the person to feel better and hopeful for the future.
Connect to a Trauma-Informed Therapist
Individuals who fail to understand their feelings and regulate their emotions should consult a trauma-informed therapist. People can connect to a competent and reliable therapist through Fitcy Health for guidance regarding strategies to accept and move on in life.
Keep a Journal
The stress related to the traumatic event affects overall functioning. Therefore, it is necessary to connect with the feelings, and the best way is to keep a journal. It helps identify the triggers affecting behavior and mental health.
Prioritize Self-Care
Self-care enables the individual to heal and move on in life. Therefore, people must prioritize their physical and mental health. Taking a shower, reading a book, or engaging in physical activities can help divert attention and focus on the positive aspects of life.
Practice Mindfulness
Trauma leads to stress and anxiety. It affects the ability to complete everyday tasks, which worsens the symptoms. Therefore, practicing mindfulness allows the person to gain control of the present activities and manage stress related to traumatic events.
How to Deal with Childhood Trauma?

The childhood trauma test enables the specialist to have a psych evaluation to determine the cause of trauma. The ways that help deal with childhood trauma are:
Understand the Cause of the Behavior
Adults suppress their emotions, which causes them to suffer from anxiety and related complications. Hence people must understand the cause of their behavioral changes.
Seek Support
People with traumatic experiences must consult a therapist for professional help and learn relaxation techniques to become calm and make rational decisions.
Reclaim Control
The past controls the present. People with traumatic experiences linger in the past, which causes emotional instability. Therefore, people must practice mindfulness to gain control to ensure a healthier future.
