Bambi Rattner, Psy.D.

Hello, I am Dr. Bambi Rattner. I have been in this field for a very long time. I received my Master's degree in 1987 and my Doctorate in Psychology in 1997, and I have been in active practice ever since. Over the decades I have worked in nearly every setting imaginable: residential centers, inpatient psychiatric units, schools, nursing homes, and private practice, supporting clients ranging in age from 3 to 103.

While every one of those experiences was meaningful, I eventually found myself feeling dissatisfied. I was using my clinical skills to the best of my ability, but I felt there had to be a more effective way to help people truly heal, rather than just manage their symptoms.

Everything changed when I began training in deep-processing modalities. I became certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Progressive Counting (PC), and eventually became an EMDRIA Approved Consultant to mentor other therapists. My quest to find the most transformative tools for healing then led me to Level 1 Training in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and basic training in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).

Today I do not just use one tool; I weave these approaches together. Whether it is tapping into the innate wisdom of the 'Self' through IFS or using the efficiency of EMDR and ART, I tailor my approach to each unique nervous system.

My work today is the culmination of those thirty-plus years of experience. By utilizing the Intensive Model, I am able to bring all these clinical skills together in a way that I believe is most effective for you. Working together over several hours for multiple days allows us the time and space to progress through your 'worst things' list without interruption, providing the lasting change and emotional health you deserve.
