Therapists Beginning With P in South Dakota
I love helping people heal and to be a part of that process with them. We are either healing or healed, lets get through this together. I offer a range of modalities such as EMDR and art therapy, which get the whole brain on board and are both evidence based practices. Connecting with your therapist is one thing and effective interventions is another. I like working with individuals, couples, and families to develop this relationship and address the concerns they present with. Treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and general life stressors are what I do best.

I have worked with all age groups with diverse backgrounds, though I specialize in culturally-centered treatment for fellow Indigenous peoples. My personal studies include extensive work on grief, depression, and anxiety through an existential lens. As such, my ideal client is one who has such presenting issues and who requires support from someone who has experienced, been treated for, and wishes to get treatment from a counselor who has a deep personal understanding of shared issues.

Life is full of changes and challenges, some of which result in experiences with depression, anxiety, and grief. Other times, our life maybe just gets a little out of focus and off balance, leaving us feeling lost and unsure about where we're at and where we're headed. These are things that we might need support with, so that we may find our way back to a path that has us healing, meeting our goals, and feeling excited about our future again.
