Message to clients

Have you ever wondered, 'Why am I not over this yet?' or 'How long can I keep faking it?' It is normal to feel hesitant. Past trauma often teaches us that predictability is safe, even when it keeps us stuck. As a psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping you move through the stuck points that keep your past present. My approach is different from traditional, open-ended talk therapy. I believe your time is valuable, so I utilize structured, evidence-based protocols like CPT that are designed to achieve measurable results in just 12 to 16 sessions. We aren't just talking about your trauma; we are actively dismantling it so you can graduate from therapy and get back to your life. Whether we are working individually on PTSD or together in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) to heal a relationship, I bring nuance, respect for complexity, and a focus on what actually works. And let’s be honest: therapy is weird. It’s a unique, emotionally intimate relationship, and fit is everything. I encourage you to see your natural hesitancy as a wise signal. Schedule a brief consultation to ask questions and confidentially decide if Elevated Pathways Therapy LLC is the right next step for you. It is okay if you aren’t sure you’re ready, but maybe you’re ready to be ready.

Lia Bishop, PhD

Dr. Rabenhorst Bell is exceptional. She brings warmth, humor, and a refreshingly down-to-earth presence to her work. She creates spaces where others feel empowered and encouraged to show up fully as they are - good, bad, and ugly - so that true, deep work can happen. She firmly roots her therapy in science, so you can trust that the interventions she uses are well thought-out, evidence-based and collaboratively tailored to meet your needs as they arise. Dr. Rabenhorst Bell strikes a rare balance between compassion and clinical expertise that makes her both relatable and deeply effective; I can't recommend her highly enough.

John Glazer, PsyD

In my 20 years in the field, I have not met a more skilled, knowledgeable, compassionate, and ethical psychologist than Dr Rabenhorst. In the eight years we worked together, I was regularly amazed at her ability to get to the heart of any complex interpersonal matter and facilitate understanding. I simply can’t recommend Dr Rabenhorst highly enough.
