Getting to know Adriana Niculescu

Hi there, I'm Adriana! In today’s relationally challenged world, I’m passionate about offering a therapuetic space where people of all backgrounds can find change, healing, and growth. My practice is centered on providing a safe, nonjudgmental place to explore the thoughts and feelings you might not feel able to say out loud to others in your life. My focus I specialize in helping people who struggle with trauma, depression, mood disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety disorders. I also have extensive experience working in many settings with people from many different backgrounds. My focus is on meeting you where you are and helping you move toward greater stability, resilience, and connection. My approach I provide therapy that is active, compassionate, and focused on tangible skills and strategies you can use in your daily life. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic modalities—CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, SFT, EMDR to name a few—that I’ve honed over 15 years in practice, tailoring my approach to fit your unique needs and circumstances. My communication style My communication style is direct, compassionate, and collaborative. I aim to be clear and honest while also deeply respectful of your pace and experiences, offering feedback and guidance in a caring, nonjudgmental way. In session, I balance warmth and humor with accountability, so you feel both supported and gently challenged. My journey to mental healthcare I first became a therapist out of a natural curiosity about why people do what they do and how our stories shape us. Over time, that curiosity grew into a deep passion for understanding how our minds, bodies, and spirits connect to create healing and resilience. I feel honored to walk alongside clients as they make sense of their experiences. My goals for you My goal is to help you clearly define what you want from therapy and then collaborate with you to reach those goals.
