Behrad Emami, LPC
Behrad Emami
Life can be very challenging and painful, and to top it off, 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 for 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 faced with 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 which emphasize insight, depth, and acceptance. 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.
