Adults Therapists in Sioux Falls, SD
My name is Judith Kasznica and I work with adults, men and women, who have struggles from depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, loss of purpose, marriage issues, past abuse, trauma, and many others.
Suffering is hard. When you go through depression, sadness, anxiety, anger, confusion, relationships, and other challenges, it starts to affect our days, weeks, months, and years. I understand the importance of how this pain can affect day to day life, and often we may start to have a hard time enjoying even the good parts of our life. Wanting to be heard, and understood, and then creating a path of healing, change, and growth are often the goals people have to better enjoy their lives, find peace and happiness within their own lives and their relationships.

Life can be difficult. For children and adolescents it can be especially challenging. As a Registered Play Therapist, I have a passion for utilizing play therapy to help children and adolescents find their full potential. As a certified eating disorders specialist (CEDS) candidate I work with children to adults in the recovery process because recovery is possible. Having someone to help navigate life's difficulties can help one develop positive, healthy coping strategies. Through this process I work with individuals, families, and parents.

I have provided services to adults, children, and families in a variety of settings.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life? It can be hard to balance all the responsibilities that come our way. We often carry the weight of familial, relational, occupational, or societal pressures and expectations, leading us to feel as if we have lost ourselves or as if our wants, needs, and experiences do not matter. In therapy I hope create a space that feels safe and inviting, leading to conversations where clients feel comfortable working through their challenges in order to facilitate growth.

I work with both adults and adolescents regarding a wide array of concerns or issues such as depression, anxiety, identity and self-esteem issues, codependency and relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.
I’m glad that you are here and taking the first step. It is my goal to make this process less intimating and more predictable. You can expect therapy to be messy, uncomfortable, and challenging at times. However, it balances with healing and can be so freeing. Many of my clients worry that people will reject or abandon them. They struggle with relationships (platonic or romantic) or feel like they can’t seem to have a healthy relationship no matter what they try. They often feel “different’ or disconnected from others or think that others do not understand them. They have trouble relying on family and friends or asking for help.

It is a gift to listen and lean in to each of my client’s unique stories as we navigate the difficulties and joys of life. Working with individuals, couples, and families, I seek to offer an accepting, warm, and encouraging space where people learn about, and understand themselves, in light of the world around them. Though I primarily work with teens and families, I do enjoy working with adults and couples as well. I especially enjoy counseling those who have difficulties with depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, Christian/spiritual difficulties, and behavioral issues.
