Hi, I'm Cristina Modreanu
Psychologist • Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner & Assistant • Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP) Practitioner • Trainee in Systemic Couple and Family Psychotherapy
I'm a Clinical Psychologist accredited by the Romanian College of Psychologists, currently training in Systemic Couple and Family Psychotherapy. My practice is complemented by international training in somatic therapy through Somatic Experiencing® and Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP), approaches that help me work with trauma, nervous system regulation, and reconnecting mind, body, and emotions.
Difficult experiences aren't reflected only in our thoughts, but also in the body, emotions, and relationships. That's why my practice blends psychology, a systemic perspective, and somatic therapy to understand each person as a whole.
I work with teenagers, adults, and couples, both in person and online, offering a safe space where people can better understand their emotions, relationships, and body signals, and discover the resources they need for change.
Beyond my profession, I'm a mother and someone genuinely curious about the human experience. Everyone has their own pace and their own resources, and my role is to accompany that process with respect and care.
I believe change happens when the mind, emotions, and body are listened to together.
Therapy sessions online and in person, in Focșani, Romania.
Training and certifications that support my professional practice and the way I work with people.

Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP)
An integrative somatic approach focused on emotional processing through the connection between body, emotions, and mind.
It wasn't a straight path. From Law to Psychology, each stage brought a new perspective and shaped the way I accompany people through their process of change.

My first profession was in the legal field. I graduated from Law School and then completed a Master's in European Law, in Italy, an experience that shaped me in a multicultural environment and broadened my perspective on people and their diversity. Through this, I came to understand just how different life stories can be, and how much courage it takes to go through change.
Rediscovering Psychology
My interest in psychology had always been there, but a few years later I chose to turn it into a new professional direction. I studied Psychology and completed foundational training in Couple and Family Psychotherapy, a path that meant not only study and professional training, but also a long process of personal growth.
Over time, a deeper desire to understand the relationship between mind, emotions, and body led me to Somatic Experiencing®, an approach that today complements the way I work with people.
Today...
My approach, both in person and online, looks at the whole person. I bring together the knowledge and experience gained through my various trainings and use methods focused on nervous system regulation, because I believe change happens when the mind, emotions, and body are listened to together.
After three years of training in Somatic Experiencing®, I continued to deepen my practice through the international Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP) program, led by Dr. Raja Selvam. Through this, I came to understand that trauma and emotional difficulties can be understood and addressed not only through what we think or feel, but also through what the body holds and expresses.
I currently serve as an Assistant in the Somatic Experiencing® Romania training program, where I support several groups of students. This role keeps me in an ongoing process of learning and professional growth, which is reflected in the way I work with each client.
