About

Born and raised in Europe, Dana Pasculescu discovered her calling to help others during her adolescence. Her journey into psychology began in her early twenties as she overcame personal struggles, leading her to pursue a career in Marriage and Family Therapy upon moving to the United States. This career change from IT to therapy was driven by Dana's desire to bring more meaning and fulfillment to her life through caring for others.

As a bilingual therapist with a multicultural background, Dana specializes in working with multicultural couples, addressing family of origin issues, and navigating complex family dynamics. Her unique perspective as an immigrant allows her to be particularly receptive to the challenges that cultural differences can create in relationships. Dana has extensive experience facilitating couples therapy, individual therapy, and even business partner therapy. She has completed specific certifications in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) CORE Skills, AIRM, EFT and Partner Violence, and EFIT 1 & 2, equipping her with advanced tools to support her clients.

Dana's expertise extends to working with a diverse clientele, including religious and spiritual couples, premarital couples, and multiracial, multicultural pairs. In individual therapy, she assists clients struggling with stress disorders, self-esteem issues, anxiety, body-image concerns, and relationship distress. Her approach to therapy is rooted in creating a safe, valuing environment where clients can explore themselves freely and develop resilience, self-awareness, and self-compassion.

Understanding the nervousness that often accompanies the decision to start therapy, Dana emphasizes the courage it takes to seek help and make positive changes. She strives to create a therapeutic space where clients can heal, repair relationships, build hope, and work towards becoming the best version of themselves. Dana's warm and empathetic nature is evident in her words to potential clients: "It will be a privilege to listen to your story."

When not working with clients, Dana enjoys an active lifestyle, spending time with family and loved ones. She particularly loves watching sunsets at the beach, hiking, and indulging in French pastries at local coffee shops. This balance of professional dedication and personal interests allows Dana to bring a well-rounded, compassionate approach to her therapy practice at Estes Therapy in San Diego.
