Getting to know Dr. Cristina Nedelcu
Are you feeling tired, overwhelmed, or stuck? Maybe you’ve been carrying too much for too long-showing up for others while quietly putting your own needs aside. Perhaps you find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, or struggling to understand the love language of the people closest to you. Do you feel conflicted, pulled in many different directions, as though something inside you is being stretched too thin? Maybe part of you grieves what might have been, while another part worries about missing what is right here, today, in this present moment. Perhaps you’re navigating difficult relationships, caregiving responsibilities, or a season of life that feels heavier than you expected.
You don’t have to do it alone!
I offer a gentle, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and simply be yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and reconnect with your strengths.
With over 25 years of experience, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, impulse control difficulties, chronic stress, self-harming behaviors, and adoption-related concerns. Today, my focus is helping adults build resilience, develop healthier coping strategies, and experience meaningful growth.
I earned my Ph.D. in Social Welfare from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory designation in Ohio. As a full-time lecturer at Case Western Reserve University, I remain closely connected to the latest research and evidence-based practices.
I provide individual therapy, and I enjoy working with adults who feel ready to better understand themselves, shift old patterns, and move toward greater balance.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out-I would be honored to support you on your journey.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
