About Dr. Raena Khorram
Dr. Raena Khorram is a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of Bryn Mawr Mental Health and Wellness — a boutique private practice designed for patients who expect more from their mental health care.
Dr. Khorram earned her undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University before completing a year of health policy research at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She went on to medical school at Sidney Kimmel Medical College / Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, followed by adult psychiatry residency at Cambridge Hospital / Harvard Medical School, where she served as Chief of Psychopharmacology. She also completed a prestigious externship at MIT’s Department of Mental Health and Counseling.
Prior to founding Bryn Mawr Mental Health and Wellness, Dr. Khorram served on the psychiatric staff at Main Line Health, where she treated both adolescents and adults across the full continuum of acute care — including inpatient hospitalization and partial hospitalization (PHP) settings. That clinical breadth — having worked with patients at their most vulnerable, in the most demanding psychiatric environments — informs everything about how she practices today. Her patients benefit from a psychiatrist who has seen and treated the full spectrum of illness, not just its milder presentations.
Over more than a decade, Dr. Khorram has built rare dual fluency: she is both a specialist in psychopharmacology — the precise, evidence-based use of psychiatric medication — and a clinician formally trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, a depth-oriented talk therapy that explores how unconscious patterns, relationships, and life history shape mental health. Most psychiatrists do one or the other. Dr. Khorram does both.

- Bipolar disorder and OCD
- ADHD (adult and adolescent)
- Trauma and PTSD

- Life transitions — college, graduate school, career, identity
A Specialist in High-Functioning & College-Age Patients
Dr. Khorram has devoted a significant portion of her career to a population that is frequently underserved: high-achieving individuals who are succeeding on the outside while quietly struggling within.
These are students, professionals, and adults who hold it together at work or school but carry anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, or unresolved trauma beneath the surface. They are often reluctant to seek help, skeptical of being “put on medication,” and want a psychiatrist who will take time to understand them — not just prescribe and discharge.
Dr. Khorram has worked extensively with students and communities at Villanova, Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, Penn State, Lehigh University, Drexel University, and the University of Pittsburgh, as well as with graduate and professional students, young executives, and high-functioning adults throughout the Philadelphia region. She also sees students from out-of-state colleges who are Pennsylvania residents.
Her approach is never one-size-fits-all. For some patients, thoughtfully chosen medication is life-changing. For others, psychodynamic work to understand the roots of their patterns is the key. For many, it’s a careful integration of both — with lifestyle and wellness woven throughout.
Approach to Care
Every patient begins with a thorough 90-minute psychiatric evaluation — an unhurried conversation that takes your full history, goals, and concerns seriously. From there, Dr. Khorram develops an individualized treatment plan that may include psychopharmacology, psychodynamic psychotherapy, or an integrative combination, alongside attention to sleep, stress, movement, and overall wellbeing.
A Private Practice Built Around You
Bryn Mawr Mental Health and Wellness is a fee-for-service, out-of-network practice, which means Dr. Khorram answers to her patients — not to insurance companies. This model allows for longer appointments, a smaller and more carefully managed caseload, and a level of continuity and personal attention that is increasingly rare in psychiatry.
Upon request, patients are provided a detailed superbill — an itemized receipt with the diagnostic and procedure codes needed to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance carrier. Many patients with PPO plans recover a meaningful portion of their fees.
Available In-Person & Virtually
Dr. Khorram is licensed and board-certified in both Pennsylvania and New York, and welcomes patients from both states. She sees patients in person at her Bryn Mawr, PA office on the Main Line, and via secure HIPAA-compliant telepsychiatry — making her accessible to patients throughout Pennsylvania and New York, including the greater New York City area.
