Hi! I am Dr. Adrian Pătrățanu and I am here to support you in your journey of healing and self-discovery. I have dedicated many years to the study and practice of psychiatry, with a particular passion for addiction treatment. Below I share with you a sample of my professional journey:
Education and training Dr Adrian Pătrățanu
I am proud to say that I am a graduate of the prestigious Faculty of Medicine of the U.M.F. "Gr. T. Popa" Iasi. Here I had the opportunity to learn from some of the best teachers and train as a specialist in the field.
After graduation, I worked for 4 years in two of the most renowned psychiatric institutions in the country. I gained practical experience and had the opportunity to treat a variety of cases in National Institute of Psychiatry "Socola" Iasi and Clinical Hospital of Psychiatry "Prof. Dr. Al. Obregia" Bucharest. Here I learned not only to treat, but also to empathize and understand the depth of each personal story.
I was then part of the team "Sf. Stelian" Centre for the Evaluation and Treatment of Drug Addiction for Young People in Bucharest. Here, I have dedicated myself entirely to my patients, with the main goal of helping them overcome addictions and find balance and happiness in their lives.
My vision and values
I understand your fears, anxieties and concerns. Every step you take towards healing is an important one and I am honoured to be able to be with you in this process. I look forward to getting to know you and starting this journey together towards a brighter and more balanced future.
Individualised approach: I understand that each person is unique, with their own needs, fears and hopes. That's why each treatment plan I develop is tailored to the patient's individual needs, taking into account their history, the challenges they face and the goals they want to achieve.
Collaboration and communication: I strongly believe in the power of collaboration. I will work with you to develop an effective treatment plan and ensure that you are comfortable and confident in your chosen approach. Open communication is key to success in therapy, and I am committed to providing a safe and trusting environment where you can speak freely and honestly.
Continuous training: Psychiatry, like any other medical field, is constantly evolving. I constantly dedicate myself to updating my knowledge and training so that I can offer the best and latest treatment methods to my patients.
Multidisciplinary collaboration: At Atelier PSY, I work closely with a team of professionals from various fields - psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers - ensuring that patients receive a holistic and comprehensive approach to their problem.
Together towards healing
I realize that taking the first step and seeking help can be a difficult decision. I assure you that once you take this step, you will find in me a dedicated ally who will support and guide you with empathy, professionalism and dedication. Whether you are facing addictions or other mental health challenges, I am here to help you navigate through these times and find the most appropriate path to healing.
If you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment, feel free to contact me. I am here to listen and help you. Together we can build a brighter and more balanced future.
Renovation and Evolution: From ALIAT Clinic to PSY Workshop
Established as the most reputed addiction treatment and prevention clinic in Romania, ALIAT Clinic Bucharest marks a new chapter in its history by adopting a new name: PSY Workshop. This reinvention not only reflects the clinics' journey in recent years, but also their commitment to addressing a broad range of mental health issues, not just those related to addictions.
Starting in 2015 as a sanctuary for addiction treatment, ALIAT Clinic Bucharest has been, for over 7 years, the point of reference for thousands of people seeking freedom from the yoke of alcohol, drug or gambling addictions. With a dedicated team of 9 doctors and 14 psychotherapists, the clinic has become a bastion of hope and recovery.
In the light of this development, PSY Workshop complements the clinic's expertise in addiction with extensive services in mental health areas such as depression, anxiety, sexuality, adolescence and nutrition.
Mission Our strengthened support translates into exceptional psychiatric and psychological support for those in need. Patients will benefit from the same professional approach and service structure as before, complemented by innovative programs, workshops and additional services to be announced soon.
PSY Workshop: A Non-Pathologizing View of Mental Health
At the heart of the concept PSY Workshop lies the conviction that mental health is not a static label. Instead, we see it as an ongoing journey of growth and self-discovery. The choice of the name 'workshop' reflects this vision: a space where each individual actively works to build their own wellbeing, in an accepting and non-judgmental atmosphere. It is the place where, together, we shape our potential, refine our emotional and mental skills and strive to live a harmonious life, connected to those around us.

5 Reviews on "Dr Adrian Pătrățanu"
For me it was a positive experience interacting with Dr Adrian Pătrățanu, whom I wholeheartedly recommend. In a few words: competent, empathic, good communicator. He listened to me carefully, took me seriously, and also treated the results of investigations and medical letters from other specialities with the utmost care. I very much appreciated that he took as much time as I needed, especially at the beginning when I had to tell and ask more questions; I was impressed that he put patients and their problems above strict adherence to a programme. I also very much appreciated that she did not shy away from diagnosing ADHD and prescribing the recommended treatment for ADHD, but when I had side effects that made me anxious, she very patiently prescribed variations of prescriptions tailored to the problems I had. All these qualities helped me to trust Dr Adrian Pătrățanu and his advice and recommendations.
My experience confirms previous reviews: Dr Pătrățanu manages to create an environment in which you can communicate openly, feel at ease and is responsive. I started treatment this year and I feel it is helpful.
In all honesty, I can say that after a lot of unpleasant experiences with my ADHD condition, I haven't had a single problem since I have been seeing Mr Adrian Pătrățanu. So I can say that I completely agree with what can be seen in these reviews.
I highly recommend!
This doctor is really super OK, no kidding at all! By all accounts, he really stays on top. First of all, his empathy hit me right on the head. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and strives to understand them fully. In every session, I felt listened to and valued, and his patience was truly appreciated given my complicated situation.
Another aspect that impressed me was his openness to working with professionals from other medical fields, such as neurologists and rheumatologists. We all know how hard it can be to find doctors who can communicate effectively with each other, and he did so without any problem. This has made my treatment and care much more consistent and effective.
And since I was mentioning efficiency, I want to point out that he was not only super professional, but also cool. I mean, you know how it is, sometimes doctors can seem a little stiff, but he was very open and friendly. Conversations with him were always pleasant and constructive, and I felt like I could be myself without being judged.
Dr. Pătrățanu was receptive and answered promptly to all the questions I asked him about his therapeutic approaches in different situations, showing professionalism and balance in his thinking both about ADHD specific medication and other medications. At the same time, Dr. Pătrățanu showed a particular openness towards complex discussions related to (neuro)psychiatry, showing a genuine passion for this field of activity and a desire for permanent self-actualization. For this reason, I recommend Dr. Adrian Pătrățanu!
I have been a patient of Dr Adrian Pătrățanu for two years. I discuss in particular my ADHD identity and his management of ADHD. Basically, I give 5 stars for aspects regarding other diagnoses and conversations, but mainly on the ADHD side they are also there.
I did not get my ADHD diagnosis from Dr Adrian P; but compared to other psychiatric professionals, here I found a healthy "patient-doctor specialist" relationship. Such a relationship, especially in psychiatry, is important.
Offers compassion through listening, communication and validation. Shows specialisation in ADHD by the way they assimilate information from the patient and can distinguish it from other mental conditions/suffers. So psychiatric knowledge and techniques for ADHD are obviously not just "surface". This is why I recommend him on the ADHD side.
Respects vulnerable communities, e.g. has extensive knowledge of the LGBTQIA+ community and validates nonbinary/trans/queer identities etc.
