Ann Bodensteiner, Psychologist
About me
I am a Catholic Licensed Psychologist who has been providing counseling services for over 25 years . My work history includes 20 years with District Court, Family Services, with a focus on divorce and custody issues; family mediation, and conflict resolution. I have also worked many years in a private practice clinic, where I saw couples and individuals, addressing a wide variety of mental health issues, and offering a variety of therapy and support services.
If you are seeking a Catholic or Christian Counselor, I am happy to include a faith based dimension in our therapy work together. For others who have no such interest, I am respectful o f all spirituality styles and we will work together accordingly. Whatever your issues or concerns, it would be my pleasure to offer you help and healing in a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship.

In the short time I’ve met with Ann she’s been able to help me gather my thoughts and feelings and helped me better understand myself. After our meetings I feel relieved and that it’s okay to have the feelings/or thoughts I’ve been having.

Ann is a great therapist. She really knows what questions to ask and how to help people navigate through issues. I highly recommend her. She is very insightful and approachable.

Ann is very thoughtful and brings up things you need to hear from an outside perspective which I greatly appreciate about her. I am very happy I found her and I appreciate how easy she is to talk to about anything. I would highly recommend Ann

Ann is a joy to talk have as a therapist! I always appreciate the support she offers me. She is very adept at being both direct AND kind. I am so grateful for all the ways she’s helped me throughout our time together.

I learned a lot from Ann and she helped me through some difficult things. I will use the tools she reached me always. One thing I wish Better Help would offer is the option to purchase single sessions.
