Self Esteem Therapists in South Dakota

I am best at helping people find their purpose, build themselves up from rock bottom, and to help people move from being stuck surviving into someone that is thriving in life's journey. Life circumstances and mental wellness varies when someone walks into my office, but I have witnessed people completely transform.

This experience, among others, fueled my passion for guiding children away from negative cycles toward empowerment and positive change.

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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of daily life? It can be hard to balance all the responsibilities that come our way.

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.
