Therapists in Custer, SD

Seeking counseling for your child or adolescent can seem overwhelming. Some things are difficult to talk about. I am interested in listening to your child and family carefully and attentively. I will take the time during the first appointment to gain the information to help us determine the best method of therapy (or coaching) together. I am grateful to have received excellent training and experience, and am committed to offering the most appropriate counseling for best results. Whether it is treatment for depression, anxiety, behavior problems, social problems, grief, family conflict or something else, you are not alone.

The kindest thing we can do for ourselves is to face life's challenges with honesty and bravery. But doing so can be painful, and often requires support from others. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to help differentiate what we can and cannot change, and to guide us toward self-affirming, healthy choices without judgment or pressure.

Anxious, Depressed, Burned Out or Tired of Feeling Emotionally Exhausted? I use kindness, honesty and humor to connect with people and help identify meaningful changes aligned with their values, in the shortest time possible. Best Life Solutions exists to help people learn to love their lives and listen to their internal messages. I am committed to providing a safe, confidential environment for people who are professionals in difficult careers including: mental health, education, nursing, law enforcement and community safety to name a few. If your work with others is impacting you, I invite you to reach out.

Since 2011 I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples who are experiencing mental health issues related to work, school, life transitions, relationships, identity, addictions, parenting, health issues, grief, trauma, and environment. The therapeutic relationship provides a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to work through your concerns, reframe experiences, and move in a direction that honors what is important to you.

I value a holistic approach to counseling and will consider all aspects of a person in our work together. I am committed to providing a safe and judgment free space to reflect and grow through all of life’s experiences.

Do you need someone to talk to, someone who will listen without judgement? I would be honored to be that someone for you. I have a passion to help people of all ages to learn, grow, and heal. I have a client-centered approach to therapy. This is about you; you are in the driver's seat. Even though the therapy process can sometimes be painful, I like to incorporate a little dash of the "laughter is the best medicine" approach at times. Tears and laughter both have healing qualities. And what if you don't like to talk? We can use additional approaches such as expressive art, play, or journaling to reach your counseling goals.

As we engage in equine therapy we witness the incredible bond between horses and humans, crating a safe and transformative space for growth and healing. The wisdom and intuitive nature of horses guide us on a journey of self -discovery, resilience, and emotional well being. Whether it is building trust, finding peace, or developing valuable life skills equine therapy offers a unique and profound path towards growth.

I feel a "calling" to help adults and teens through counseling! I offer clients deep compassion, unconditional acceptance, and understanding. Often we believe the worst about ourselves! We lose sight of our own value, our own beauty, and self worth. We become depressed or constantly anxious, feel lost, maybe even broken on the inside. But, counseling can change that! I provide a safe environment that is consistently supportive, empathetic, and empowering! I will help you see yourself anew, grieve your losses, face your fears, and help you locate your deep self and reconnect to your life's purpose. A natural joy will follow!

Hello! My name is Brianna Jakubiak, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Dakota. I work to help people better understand themselves and how to create the life they want. I think it is an honor to get to hear an individual's story and be a part of it. My theoretical approach differs slightly depending on who I am working with, but I pull primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work to help people gain awareness of their own patterns in order to start the process of changing those thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 14 years of experience. That being said, I've learned there is always room for growth and change. I offer acceptance of whatever you bring to talk about with a non biased perspective and no judgments or criticism. My life experiences have taught me empathy and compassion as well as keeping boundaries and being a little 'tough skinned'. I enjoy working with someone who is open and honest. It's great if I can challenge your thinking and /or perspective on your life, situations and experiences. We all experience hard days and difficult situations - I'm here to help.

I love working with individuals and couples who are ready to do the work to make real, lasting, and meaningful changes in their lives to meet the goals they have. Helping others challenge themselves to grow and improve their relationship with themselves and others is a great privilege for me, and the counseling profession is one of which I am truly grateful to be a part.

If you have been suffering with feelings of anxiousness, depression, and/or experience negative thoughts that lead to distress, I would like to help . It takes courage to start therapy and share thoughts and feelings that you rarely give words to. The most important aspect of therapeutic work is the therapist client relationship with safety and trust built over time as the foundation. Together we can explore and make sense of what is causing your distress and develop tools to help you feel stronger and more comfortable with yourself and others. My goal is for you to experience more joy and a better quality of life.
