Hear From My Clients
I feel very privileged to have Mihaela as my therapist. Since starting working with her, both my husband and my child have noticed a big positive growth in me as a person and as a mother. Mihaela has a natural gift of relating to people and making them feel comfortable, by creating a safe and supportive environment. She has a reflective nature which she combines with non judgemental listening skills. She successfully helped me work through my feelings and thoughts, while working towards becoming a better mom and a better ME.
Mihaela genuinely wants to help and make a positive change. I am fully aware that my work has only started and I will need Mihaela’s wise guidance and gentle support for a bit longer. I feel very lucky to have Mihaela as a therapist and would happily recommend her to anyone.

Dear Mihaela,
You have been more effective for me than any other therapist I have ever worked with. Your methodology mirrors that of the Clinical Supervisor at a mental health program, where I received intensive therapy for a short period of time.
Your approach of utilizing experiential, psychodrama, and Internal Family Systems therapy modalities for trauma in both individual and group settings has been transformative. My healing has flourished not only during our sessions but also through the self-reflection and journaling you have encouraged. As I have learned, healing truly happens in the community.
My journey to your office began after 16 years of emotional abuse and threats from my husband, a covert narcissist. This abuse was compounded by my upbringing in a narcissistic family and by my mother-in-law, who has both borderline personality disorder and malignant narcissistic traits.
In just six months of working with you, I have transformed from a weak, traumatized, caged bird into an empowered woman with the strength to stand up for myself and hold my ground. I’ve learned to establish and uphold boundaries that protect my wellbeing. While the fight for timesharing of our child has been challenging, I face it with newfound resilience. I am confident that in a few months, I will feel like a phoenix who has emerged from the ashes.
Thank You feels inadequate for what you have given me.

Hello, nice to meet you!
What Is Conscious Parenting?
Connected:
Connection is everything in parenting. Also, connection is not possible in the absence of safety. Safety creates connection, and the parent is 100% responsible for creating the emotional environment in the home- regardless of how difficult the child’s behaviors are. This is HARD work for any parent- be gentle when you judge yourself, but do take action to change things around. I teach tools for connection in my program; I also wrote many articles on this topic here.
Curious:
Curiosity is such a gift! It means that we become genuinely curious about what’s happening beneath the behavior. We don’t rush to label or punish the behavior; we listen, listen, listen! For curiosity to become a default reaction, a parent must be willing to learn about brain development; how emotions work in a child; what emotions communicate; what trauma is; effects of mom & dad dynamics on the child; etc.
Compassionate:
Your child needs you when he or she is at their worst. Typically, that’s when parents “lose it”. As a result, the relationship becomes very conditional and superficial. Very disconnected. The child feels unseen, unsafe and unheard. Compassion for someone means: “I see your pain and I want to help you. I see you for who you are despite this ugly behavior. How can I help you? What do you need right now?”
With young children, this language is not required; our loving and containing presence is sufficient. Again, this is hard work for a parent who doesn’t have self-compassion or lacks self-awareness.
Calm:
Being able to stay calm and grounded in the middle of an emotional storm goes hand in hand with being compassionate towards your child. We lose our temper, or feel stressed when we feel helpless. We don’t know what (else) to do and become reactive. Young children can’t self-regulate, hence time-outs don’t work! They need a loving and calm adult who can co-regulate their emotions together. Only then, the nervous system of the child can go back into feeling safe again. We can’t help a child from a place of agitation, powerlessness or reactivity.
