Behrad Emami M.Ed., LPC
Life can be very challenging and painful, and on top of that, we have ourselves to contend with - but you don’t have to go through this experience completely alone. I’m glad you’re searching for a therapist. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential to healing and growth, and that finding a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and compatible is a vital part of this journey. With that in mind, allow me to introduce myself:
I am a licensed professional counselor and therapist with nearly a decade of clinical experience serving diverse individuals in and around Philadelphia. My style is active and conversational without being overbearing. I believe there are opportunities to find joy and humor even when confronting serious challenges or engulfed in shadow. I borrow from many different approaches, but I prefer to operate primarily from the existential-humanistic and psychodynamic frameworks. I proceed from the principle that many of our injuries in life take place within the context of our relationships with others, and therefore, the potential for healing also emerges within the context of our relationships with others.
To me, everyone is unique, and no one is a diagnosis. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment where you are open to share and grow freely. Whether you are struggling with certain aspects of your life, or you are interested in personal enrichment and deepening your self-understanding, I will strive to support you with my curiosity, empathy, and attunement. My aim is to ground our work in the distinct attributes and contexts of your life and to determine the best course of action collaboratively. I commend your courage to begin (or continue) this part of your life journey and wish you luck with your search.
Warmly,
Behrad
Wade Greenwald LPC, MBA
Hello, and Welcome to Phynai Therapy Group! I'm Wade Greenwald, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and I’m currently accepting new clients between the ages of 14 and 26. My approach to therapy focuses on fostering a strong, trusting relationship with each individual in a warm and welcoming environment. It’s important to me that every client feels heard, understood, and truly connected during our work together. Trust is the foundation for any effective therapeutic process.
With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I specialize in working with pre-teens, teens, and young adults. My approach is trauma-informed and strength-based, drawing on a variety of therapeutic methods such as person-centered therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, and non-directive play therapy. I also place a strong emphasis on psychoeducation, helping clients understand themselves and their challenges better.
I work with individuals facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-injurious behaviors, peer pressure, navigating adolescence, and sexual health development. I also support clients with struggles related to autonomy, young parenthood, college stress, balancing home/work/life responsibilities, and those in or from the foster care system or adoption. Additionally, I have expertise in supporting individuals involved with probation, parole, or juvenile justice concerns.
