Analee Steffan, MA

Every individual has their own story which influences how they interpret themselves, others, and the world. Due to these differences amongst all of us, my approach to therapy encompasses individuality, acceptance, empathy, compassion, and kindness. I believe it is important that the therapeutic space is comfortable while working through (sometimes) uncomfortable and difficult topics, events, and situations. I strive to walk alongside clients as they move through their journey towards mental wellness. 

My clinical background includes supporting those who’ve experienced and/or are experiencing psychosis and altered states, anxiety, depression, trauma histories and difficulties with anger management. Additionally, I am experienced in and am passionate about working with individuals who are currently involved or have been involved with the criminal justice system.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

ACP’s DBT program adheres to the Linehan model of DBT, is certified by MN DHS. Our clients meet with their individual therapist for one hour a week and attend a two-hour weekly skills group for at least 26 weeks. Unlike traditional group psychotherapy which focuses on processing experiences and feelings, DBT groups focus on learning four sets of important skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is a very effective treatment for multiple conditions including borderline personality disorder, depression, PTSD, impulsivity, eating disorders, and some forms of anxiety.

Telehealth Services

To expand and improve our care options for clients, ACP offers Telehealth (phone or video) appointments. Telehealth uses phone or video conferencing to connect you with highly qualified and experienced providers in real-time from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office. Before your telehealth appointment, you will receive details for how you will connect with your provider. If you will be connecting via phone, the provider will plan to call you at your scheduled appointment time. Please be ready to take the call and also check that your phone allows calls from blocked numbers (accessible within your phone settings). If you will be connecting via video conference, your provider will email you an invite to join the appointment. Please call our office to learn more about ACP’s telehealth services and to schedule an appointment.
