Hello, my name is Dr. Ann M. Hetzel. After many years of providing quality mental health services to individuals experiencing severe mental health challenges, I decided it was time to bring my skills to the public in the form of Balanced Perspectives Psychotherapy Services, LLC. Through the use of empirically-validated treatments such as Albert Ellis' Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Meditation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as Buddhist/Eastern Psychology and various forms of Mindfulness, I am confident that I've found a variety of ways to treat the entire person. Whereas the Medical Model seeks to find what is wrong with the patient, I use a strength-based approach, seeking out, working with, and teaching the patient to further build upon her strengths! I teach the patient to develop those strengths in ways that address the very reasons that he or she came into my office in the first place. 

This is Balance!
