The practice team is composed of distinguished professionals, including Prof. Dr. med. Waldemar Greil, Corinna Constantin Brenni, and Joachim Tholuck, each of whom brings extensive training and experience to the practice.

Prof. Dr. Waldemar Greil is a prominent figure in the field, with a long and distinguished career. He studied at the Universities of Munich, Marburg, Vienna, and Heidelberg, graduating in 1969. Prof. Dr. Greil’s early career included roles as a medical assistant at the University of Heidelberg Clinics and as a scientific assistant at the Institute of Biochemistry at Heidelberg University. He furthered his training in neurology and psychiatry at the Psychiatric and Neurological Clinic at the University of Munich, where he served as a senior physician. From 1992 to 2007, Prof. Dr. Greil was the medical director of the Private Psychiatric Clinic Sanatorium Kilchberg. In March 2007, he founded his own practice, Stauffacherpraxis in Zurich, which has since become a cornerstone of his clinical work.

Corinna Constantin Brenni, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, also plays a key role in the practice. She studied human medicine at the University of Heidelberg and Mannheim and completed her psychotherapy training at the Psychiatric University Hospital Basel, focusing on cognitive behavioural therapy. Corinna’s medical career includes positions at the Private Psychiatric Clinic Sanatorium Kilchberg, where she worked as a senior physician and assistant doctor. She has gained significant expertise in treating psychiatric disorders, particularly those involving cognitive behavioural therapy. Her broad experience in both private and academic settings further enriches the services provided by Praxis Rathausbrücke.

Joachim Tholuck, another skilled member of the team, is a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy with a background in human medicine from the University of Hamburg. He completed his specialist training at the Klinikum Nord/Ochsenzoll in Hamburg and at the Sanatorium Kilchberg, where he developed expertise in geriatric psychiatry. Joachim’s work in the field of bipolar disorders, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and depression is highly regarded, as is his development of a geriatric psychiatric day clinic. His therapeutic approach combines pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy, focusing on treating chronic depression and other complex psychiatric conditions.

The team at Praxis Rathausbrücke is committed to delivering patient-centred care, with a focus on creating individual treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Together, they work to support patients through life crises, burnout, bullying, and other challenges, helping them build on their strengths and navigate their path to better mental health.
