Ms Adriana Balan

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

I work with adolescents and adults with difficult pathology: social anxiety, anorexia, depression, panic attacks and psychosomatic diseases (migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, etc.)

About Me

I am a licensed psychotherapist based in Bucharest, Romania. I treat anxiety, relationship problems, depression, chronic illness, mood disorders, and eating disorders. I also provide Ukraine Aid services.

Approach

My approach is psychodynamic as I prefer to go to the root cause of the problems. There will be 2-3 evaluation sessions and after that we mutually decide if we can work together.

Basic Information

Services


I am here to bring clarity and security to the place of confusion and anxiety; more than that, my role is to make you understand yourself how you function on a very deep level and to take over this clarifying function long after you have left therapy, evolving into a life full of energy and meaning.
