Irene Behnan, Ph.D, Psy.D, LMFT
I believe that seeking professional help is a strength and not a weakness. I value individuals for who they are, and I appreciate their pain and struggle. I make every effort to understand my client's needs, and I make it a priority to meet with my clients at their starting point. Along the way, I do my best to provide my clients with safe and healthy environment.
I have been extensively involved in conducting therapy with children, adolescents, couples, and families from divers populations in two languages, English and Arabic. I have gained my experience working in the United States and Egypt, using psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral therapies.
My Clients come from a wide variety of ethnicities and backgrounds. I work cooperatively with doctors, teachers, social workers and others to best serve my clients. My ultimate goal is for my clients to reach self-growth and experience a better life.
