I have been a co-worker of Barry Rathner at the Jewish Committee for Personal Service, a service of Gateways Mental Health Center in Los >> Angeles, since I began my employment there nearly two years ago.
As our jobs consist mostly of counseling inmates at jails and prisons, I was very happy to experience the care and attention to detail that Dr. Rathner demonstrated while training me. The intense atmosphere of places of incarceration creates a situation where the more prepared one is to deal with it, the better.
Dr. Rathner taught me not only how to do my job, but, furthermore, his detachment and sense of humor to this day aids me in finding a balance.I experienced both personally and professionally Dr. Rathner’s ability to put people at ease while at the same time extracting important information that helps our clients with their legal, psychological and spiritual problems and concerns.
I would unconditionally recommend him for any position not only in this field, but any other field that involves helping others in need. His high levels of integrity and compassion allow me to make this recommendation without reservation.
