About Delia Petrescu
Registered Psychotherapist
Do you find it hard to understand your own patterns, reactions, and behaviors? Do you struggle to maintain a positive relationship with yourself? Are you often overly critical or find yourself doing something different from what you truly want?
If this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.
In our sessions, we will work on improving your relationship with yourself and others. Whether you’re dealing with codependency, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or burnout, we will address the patterns that keep you stuck.
Are you ready to explore your patterns and start working on them? It’s time for you to feel confident in your life, your relationships, and yourself
I help clients work through relationship challenges, whether they are with the self or others. My aim is to help you get to the root cause of what’s keeping you stuck and create long-term change.
My Approach to Therapy
I aim to understand your experiences—your struggles, and your relationships with yourself and others. I’m not here to change who you are but to help you understand why it hurts and how to reconnect. We’ll explore what’s happening now and where the problems began to guide our treatment plan.
I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals prioritize themselves and their relationships. For individuals, we’ll work on self-talk and patterns that keep you stuck. I’ll support you in becoming the best version of yourself.
For couples, I focus on helping you slow down and truly listen to each other, learning new ways to connect and communicate.
Understanding Attachment Wounds and Trauma
If you’ve experienced attachment wounds or trauma, you might find it hard to feel safe and connected in relationships. These deep-rooted issues can shape your reactions and behaviors, often without you even realizing it.
In our work together, we’ll look at how past traumas and attachment issues affect your current life. By understanding these patterns, we can find ways to heal and move forward.
My goal is to create a safe space where you can address these wounds, rebuild trust in yourself and others, and create healthier relationships.
