My name is Ann L. P. Steely and I am a clinical social worker and owner of Heartland Psychotherapy. I specialize in working with adolescents/adults in individual and family therapy. My focus in therapy is on my relationship with you, understanding what you need as an individual, and using this understanding to help you find insight into how to make the changes you want to make in your life. Psychotherapy is a process of working together towards healing and change. I will help you understand yourself authentically and find greater ease through the exploration of your emotional experience, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
I treat all major mental health conditions and specialize in working with other mental health and health professionals as well as individuals wanting support around disordered eating, compulsions, problematic substance use, and challenges related to a loved one's substance use. My practice is affirming all genders/sexualities and racial/cultural identities.
I use an integrated psychoanalytic, emotion-focused, and somatic approach to therapy, which focuses on exploring your thoughts, feelings, senses, and behaviors so you can feel more confident, less confused, and more satisfied in your life. This exploration along with the therapy relationship itself leads to increased wellness and recovery from traumas.
