Priya Ratty, PsyD
Dr. Ratty has worked extensively with children, adolescents, young adults and adults from diverse
backgrounds. She believes it is essential to acknowledge and understand the role of culture in one’s
identity formation as well as identify the central themes and patterns that develop during the early stage
of life as they play a vital role in the quality of relationships that we develop with ourselves and others into
adulthood. Dr. Ratty recognizes that seeking help can be difficult or filled with uncertainty and she honors
your bravery in taking the first step.
APPROACH
Dr. Ratty hopes to meet you or your child where they are at, and through compassion she creates a safe,
supportive, comfortable and meaningful space for you or your child to navigate the journey of
self-discovery and healing. In therapy, she employs an integrative approach that draws from
cognitive-behavioral, strength-based and client-centered theories. When working with children and
adolescents, she provides a collaborative space to allow for free expression of themselves through play,
movement, talk, art and more. She also takes a collaborative approach with family/ caregivers as a way to
engage them in the treatment process.
