Meet Our Founder

Rising Warrior Psychotherapy & Neurofeedback Clinic was founded by Jo-Anna Steele-Kiley, whose vision was shaped by both professional experience and a deep personal understanding of the challenges faced by veterans, military members, first responders, and their families.

With close family connections to Veterans, firefighting, military service, and the policing community, Jo-Anna has developed a deep appreciation for the unique challenges faced by those who serve. She has seen how the demands of service can affect not only the individual wearing the uniform, but also the families who stand beside them. These experiences have provided her with valuable insight into the realities of service life, the sacrifices involved, and the lasting impact that operational stress injuries can have on Veterans & First Responders.

Recognizing a need for specialized, culturally competent care, Jo-Anna established Rising Warrior to create a place where veterans, first responders, and their families feel understood, respected, and supported. She understands operational stress injuries can be challenging experiences that require compassionate, knowledgeable, and accessible care.

Rising Warrior was built to help address these challenges by bringing together a multidisciplinary team dedicated to supporting this unique population. The clinic offers trauma-focused psychotherapy provided by experienced psychotherapists, psychological assessments conducted by a registered psychologist, and medical assessments through a nurse practitioner, including but not limited to Disability Tax Credit applications and other assessments that may be required to support a client’s care and recovery journey.

At the heart of Rising Warrior’s mission is a commitment to helping those who serve navigate complex systems with confidence and support. The clinic recognizes that healing is not limited to treatment alone; it also involves reducing barriers, providing guidance, and advocating for individuals. Navigating treatment pathways, and support systems can often feel overwhelming and daunting. Rising Warrior strives to help simplify these processes so that individuals can focus their energy on recovery and wellness.
