something every person deserves access to, in a language they understand, in a space where they feel truly seen.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Endegana holds a <strong>Master&#8217;s degree in Psychology from Addis Ababa University<\/strong> and has spent many years in the mental health field in Ethiopia. Drawing on that experience, she built Fitret Counseling from the ground up \u2014 assembling a dedicated team of professional counselors and mental health practitioners committed to delivering compassionate, culturally grounded care.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">As founder and director, Endegana leads and oversees the Fitret Counseling team, ensuring that every client \u2014 whether an individual, couple, family, or <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/fitretcounseling.com\/organizations\/\">corporate organization<\/a> \u2014 receives support that is professional, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practice.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Under her leadership, the Fitret team works with a wide range of clients including adults navigating stress, anxiety, and depression; couples working through communication breakdowns or trust issues; adolescents and young people facing identity, academic, or family pressures; and professionals experiencing burnout or workplace conflict.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Endegana is deeply committed to building a practice that reflects the Ethiopian context. She understands that mental health here carries unique social, familial, and spiritual dimensions \u2014 and she has built a team that takes those seriously rather than applying a one-size-fits-all Western framework. All services are available in both <strong>Amharic and English<\/strong>, in-person at the <strong>Sarbet, Addis Ababa office<\/strong> and via secure virtual sessions for clients across Ethiopia and
