Dr. Itamar Barnea, NATAL’s Chief psychologist and POW During Yom Kippur War

Dr. Itamar Barnea is NATAL’s Chief psychologist, a renowned clinical psychologist, and a certified supervisor in psychotherapy. With his doctorate from the University of Denver and further studies at the Jung Institutes in Zurich, Switzerland, and Israel, he has had a groundbreaking impact on trauma treatment. Dr. Barnea has a unique perspective on trauma, having been a POW in Syria during the Yom Kippur War while serving as a combat pilot. He previously headed the Psychology & Psychiatry Department in the Israeli Air Force and the Casualties Department in the IDF. Of special note is that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur war.

“Throughout my career, I have witnessed the universality of trauma and its consequences. While our work has primarily centered in Israel, we are now expanding to the United States, to reach a wider audience in need. It’s both humbling and exhilarating to be part of this time with NATAL, as we strive to bring innovative therapeutic solutions to help those suffering from trauma. This honor is not just a recognition for me, but a testament to the collective efforts to address the life-altering impacts of trauma globally,” said Dr. Barnea.
