Welcome! I have immediate availability. I'm a licensed mental health counselor at MK Counseling in Sioux Falls, SD. I've been practicing for approximately eight years and love what I do. My approach involves using clinically researched methods to help clients make meaningful life changes and find workable strategies for dealing with their thoughts and feelings. Unfortunately, there's no magic involved in the counseling process, and making changes takes effort from both of us and a willingness to try something new. I'm committed to putting in the effort, tracking our progress, and building collaborative relationships with my clients.

I see the counseling space as an intentional time to process life — to be heard and feel validated. I identify primarily as a person-centered counselor, maintaining a congruent and empathic approach, all while viewing clients as capable experts on themselves. I also recognize the difficult times that we currently live in and acknowledge how systems and circumstances greater than ourselves can contribute to daily distress. I also enjoy exploring life’s larger, existential questions and helping clients find their own meaning in life.

We are worth more than our circumstances, difficult situations, missteps, or the uncontrollable events of our lives. As we process these emotions, we need support to recognize that digging out can be difficult and sometimes we tend to dig even deeper. As a therapist, my focus is to help individuals, families, and couples move forward.

Like a skilled artisan, I am drawn to sculpting new narratives from the raw material of life's challenges.

Together, we'll transform painful stories into masterpieces of resilience, crafting a path towards a more fulfilling and empowering existence.

Many clients come to therapy with a fear they will be judged and misunderstood. I believe in the social work value of upholding the dignity and worth of my clients. I approach therapy by balancing validation and change; it is essential that a client feels both affirmed and challenged. I believe all people are doing the best they can and can do better. My vocation is to help people find their own life worth living.

I have always viewed my work as a therapist as an honor and privilege to walk alongside individuals, couples and families to address some of their most sensitive and intimate struggles they've experienced in life. I work with clients ranging in age from high school into late adulthood. I have extensive experience working with marital and relationship problems, infidelity, divorce issues, those who might struggle with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, family of origin issues and trauma of abuse. I also have a special heart for those who have endured medical illness. Working as a therapist is my passion.

During a first session, clients often comment how easy it is to talk to me. My priority is for you to get something out of our time together that impacts your daily life. This includes, but is not limited to: increased sense of security and self esteem; a more clear vision about your life (past, present, future); decreased symptoms related to anxiety/depression and past trauma; and an awareness of and influence over destructive patterns in your life. And for those seeking relationship counseling: better communication and renewed intimacy with your partner or spouse leading to enhanced satisfaction in family life.

Hello, my name is Amy Roth. I am an LPC-MH (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health) and graduated with my Masters in Counseling and Human Resource Development from SDSU in 2007. I have been working in the counseling field for well over 15 years and I have experience with all ages covering a wide range of issues. In today's world, therapists need to be adaptable and meet our clients where they are. This means, I offer anything from in-person sessions to HIPAA compliant video or phone system to protect your confidential information. At this time, in person sessions are very limited.

I consider it a privilege to be able to come along side an individual or couple in their journey towards healing. As a therapist, I value creating and holding a nonjudgemental, confidential and safe space to allow for healing and growth. There are many reasons someone might seek therapy. Therapy can help navigate life transitions, treat mental health concerns, address trauma and be a place of support. I believe that expanding self awareness through personal reflection can increase self agency, confidence and relational satisfaction.

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.

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming and uncomfortable. As a therapist, I strive to provide an open, nonjudgmental, and welcoming space for you to explore and grow as an individual. I work collaboratively with adults of all ages and in all stages of life to help foster insight and growth in the present while giving voice and validation to the past.
