About Us

Therapy for people who have it all together—except for the parts they don’t.

You’re running a business, managing a busy household, or trying to navigate a life transition that threw your internal compass out the window.  You need a place to share what life is really like for you, how you’re really feeling, without worrying about how it might negatively impact you or your family.  We provide extended session blocks and doctoral-level discretionary expertise to ensure you have that safe space so your ecosystem doesn’t just find its footing, but evolves to leave you truly better than you were before.

Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being is a private-pay clinical “grove” curated for high-functioning adults, high-impact partnerships, and children and adolescents navigating a complex world. We specialize in transforming profound loss, optimizing major life transitions, and expanding personal and relational fulfillment.  This is your space to grieve, grow, heal, and design a life of meaningful resilience and sound well-being.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist (License #: PY0881)

Dr. Darbonne

Hi! My name is Anna Darbonne (pronounced Dahr-bon, like a bonfire), Clinical Psychologist at Bamboo Center.

I work exclusively with highly insightful, motivated adults who are navigating the unique pressures of high-impact lives. Many of my clients look entirely unshakeable from the outside, yet privately wrestle with perfectionism, the quiet exhaustion of constant performance, or a persistent undercurrent of imposter syndrome.

As a psychologist holding specialized training in complex grief and life transition frameworks, I provide an unhurried, profoundly safe, and entirely non-judgmental space. Here, you do not have to wear the mask of leadership or feel the pressure to just ‘get over it.’ Together, we dismantle limiting beliefs and transform deep grief or sudden life challenges into meaningful, sustainable personal growth.

I believe in the power of laughter, that taking care of ourselves is a form of altruism, that love lives on beyond death, and that ice cream is one of the world’s greatest inventions.

When I’m not sharing time with amazing people like you, I can be found playing outdoors, working out, drooling over yummy food, and traveling.

Tell me more about Dr. Darbonne!

Dr. Bjorndal

Hi, I’m Erik Bjorndal, D.O. (pronounced Byorn-doll), integrative and holistic psychiatrist and psychotherapist at Bamboo Center.

Helping you get back in touch with your best self is what drives me. I have a deep love for helping people heal, but my true passion surpasses you just feeling better.  I use a one-of-a-kind non-medication approach that combines the best of medical, behavioral, psychological, and neural science. With these unique and cutting-edge interventions, you can go beyond healing to break-through to the next level of personal and professional fulfillment.  I want to help you go beyond coaching so you reignite your passion, perform at your peak, and maximize your potential.

I love music, martial arts, food, and travel. When I’m not helping people feel their best, I’m likely spinning a record, at a concert, in the gym, or planning my next adventure!

I want to know more about Dr. Bjorndal!

OR FAMILY ECOSYSTEM!

Book an Appointment

You’re feeling amazing and loving your life is our actual priority. We devote more than the typical 45-minute rushed session times so we can listen deeply, assess the messy variables impacting your world, build a warm and secure therapeutic relationship, and then tailor care efforts specifically for you.

To boost your satisfaction and well-being while receiving premium care, you will find a completely different clinical experience at Bamboo Center:

  • A safe space for healing by feeling. We look directly at both the heavy variables you’ve been trying to avoid or outrun and the feel-good emotions you don’t just want back, but more of!
  • Extended clinical blocks with zero ticking clocks. Sessions run from 60 minutes to 4 hours or longer. This gives you, your partnership, or your child a dedicated window to escape daily demands, unpack the deep stuff, mourn, and reconnect—with a built-in time buffer and plenty of space for a good laugh or two along the way.
  • Genuine acceptance and appreciation for who you are.  Sometimes, certain pieces of your life, your partnership, or your child’s behavior can feel heavy or hard to accept.  We’re not here to judge – our focus is helping you uncover, embrace, and expand the unique strengths that make you incredible, your relationship deeply fulfilling, and your child completely extraordinary.
  • Psychologists who are deeply specialized and delightfully human.  Our doctoral-level clinicians aren’t generalists – they are highly specialized in complex grief and life transitions, high-achievement youth development, and sophisticated relational architecture. We are fiercely committed to helping you find modern solutions, make changes, and grow.
  • Day-to-day tools that work in real life. Get practical, sanity- and relationship-saving strategies to turn off your ruminating brain, set boundaries without soul-crushing guilt, and stop overthinking every single decision. Whether you’re running a company, trying to stay patient with a stressed-out teenager, or trying to better connect with your partner, we give you tools that actually work to reclaim your internal peace, shut down the exhaustion, and thrive.
  • A comprehensive and dimensional approach to your care.  We combine modern psychological science, complementary healing practices, the power of a genuine therapeutic relationship, and your unique preferences for tailored healing plans. 

I WANT A SPACE TO PROCESS, BREATHE, AND RECONNECT!

Life Can Feel Vibrant Inside & Out

You’ve created a life you’re proud of. But the quiet, internal shifts—the ones that help you feel deeply connected, grounded, and at ease—require a very different kind of space.

The hidden tax of a high-demand life —the silent isolation of running the show, the exhausting weight of trying to be flawless, the unmooring impact of a devastating loss, or parenting a bright child in today’s world—cannot be neatly resolved on a standard clinical assembly line in a rushed 45-minute hour.  You don’t need a rigid, white-coat diagnosis.  You just need extended, unhurried sessions with built-in time buffers to think out loud, deal with the hard things, and figure out what comes next.

Whether you need a secure sandbox to pivot your energy, a steady hand to help ground your child’s world, or a safe room to process deep grief and get a good, healing laugh in along the way—we are right there in the trenches with you. You’ve built a life that looks incredible from the outside. Let’s work together to make sure it actually feels good to live it.
