Public records from the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Psychologists show that psychologist Bambi Rattner was subject to disciplinary enforcement and probation monitoring under case number 2018-000496-IT-ENF.
The publicly available record does not end with the original disciplinary agreement. Board meeting minutes show that Rattner subsequently appeared before the Board and petitioned to have her probation terminated.
A Disciplinary Enforcement and Monitoring Case
The reference number 2018-000496-IT-ENF appears throughout Massachusetts Board records concerning Rattner’s probation and required monitoring.
The available public records document multiple stages of that monitoring:
- May 2019: The Board reviewed Rattner’s second quarterly monitoring report.
- October 2020: The Board reviewed her fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth quarterly monitoring reports.
- November 2020: Rattner appeared before the Board with her supervisor and petitioned to terminate her probation.
Rattner Asked the Board to End Her Probation
According to the Board’s public meeting minutes from November 13, 2020, Rattner and her supervisor, psychologist Hanya Bluestone, appeared before the Board to discuss Rattner’s Petition to Terminate Probation.
The minutes state that Rattner told the Board she wanted to conduct intensive trauma treatment independently and planned to continue using peer consultation.
Bluestone told the Board that Rattner had grown as a clinician during the probationary period. She also stated that Rattner had become more independent and was more willing to seek assistance and consultation when needed.
Following a discussion, the Board voted unanimously to accept Rattner’s petition and terminate the probation.
The Petition Itself Is Not Published Online
The Board’s minutes identify the petition as a document used during the public meeting. However, the standalone petition submitted by Rattner does not appear to be available through the Board’s public website.
As a result, the public can currently review the Board’s description of the proceeding and its decision, but not the complete petition, its attachments, or the precise arguments Rattner submitted in support of ending her probation.
A public records request will be submitted to the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure seeking:
- Rattner’s Petition to Terminate Probation
- Any exhibits or supporting materials submitted with the petition
- Any publicly releasable correspondence concerning the request
- Any separate order formally terminating the probation
This page will be updated if additional records are produced.
Why This Record Matters
The disciplinary consent agreement documents the conditions imposed on Rattner’s professional license. The later monitoring reports and petition document what happened afterward.
Publishing both parts of the record provides a more complete chronology. Rattner entered into a disciplinary agreement, practiced under probation and monitoring, submitted multiple quarterly reports, and later asked the Board to terminate that probation. The Board granted her request unanimously in November 2020.
