20 years ago, going to therapy was a red flag. Today? Never having tried therapy is the real red flag. Don't be a walking red flag!
"'Dor' doesn't translate to English. Neither do your deepest emotions."
The 'Third Culture' Dilemma
You might navigate the London Underground or corporate boardrooms with ease. But there's a part of your history—your parents' struggles, the subtle family dynamics, the intergenerational trauma—that a standard British counsellor might miss.
You don't need to explain what strict Romanian parenting feels like. Or the guilt of 'making it' while your family is back home. Or why you feel torn between two identities.
And when you try to explain to a British therapist what 'dor' means, why you feel guilty for succeeding while your family stayed in Romania... they just can't fully understand.
What if you could talk to someone who already gets all of this?
At Pasul.ro, we connect you with Romanian psychotherapists who understand not just your language, but your story, your cultural background, and the challenges of living between two worlds. Without having to explain. Without having to translate your feelings.
Imagine being able to express yourself freely, finally.
Whether you choose to speak in English or Romanian, your therapist understands the cultural context. They know what 'dor' means without explanation. They get the immigrant guilt, the identity struggles, the pressure to succeed. This is the power of therapy with cultural understanding.

Este în regulă să vorbești romgleză cu psihoterapeutul recomandat de noi.
Nu trebuie să te simți obligat să vorbești doar în română sau doar în limba țării în care locuiești. Terapeutul tău te înțelege, indiferent de limba în care te exprimi.

Ce spun oamenii despre experiența lor
"Am fost foarte sceptică la început să merg la psiholog, dar echipa Pasul m-a ghidat cu multă răbdare și înțelegere direct prin Whatsapp. Discovery call-ul gratuit mi-a dat încrederea să continui. Sunt la a 10-a ședință cu terapeuta mea și simt că viața mea s-a schimbat."

"Nu știam de unde să încep și mă simțeam copleșit de atâtea opțiuni. Nu voiam să vorbesc despre acest subiect cu nimeni din viața mea. Așa că Pasul a devenit 'prietenul' cu care am vorbit despre asta și nu mă simt singur în acest proces."
Andrei

"Dacă nu erați voi cel mai probabil nici acum nu aveam un terapeut bun sau abandonam de mult timp căutările. Mă ajută enorm faptul că am din partea locului de muncă un abonament care îmi decontează terapia făcută prin Pasul."
