Trauma and PTSD Therapists in South Dakota

Everyone in life experiences stress, grief, loss and pain in various ways and I am honored to work alongside individuals to help navigate the storms of life. While pain and stress are inevitable, it is my goal to help discover ways of coping and mitigating the pain and struggle to help people find and live out their purpose happily and healthily. My close family and friends would say that I have been counseling my whole life; beginning with being elected the peer helper of my 4th grade class. I continued to follow that calling throughout my path and became a licensed social worker/therapist.

Are there times when you find yourself mentally and emotionally exhausted? Throughout your life, do you feel different than everyone you know? Do you ask yourself, “why does this keep happening to me?” Does the thought of, just about anything, bring a level of nervous anxiety you cannot tolerate? Then again did someone you love die and you cannot seem to move on? Are there experiences in life you would rather keep buried inside and try as you might, they keep coming back? If you find yourself on the verge of becoming or are, hopeless and you are ready to make a change, it would be an honor to hear your story.

As a therapist, my journey is deeply rooted in personal transformation. Having navigated my own path of healing from childhood abuse, I understand the profound complexities of overcoming deep wounds and embracing self-love. My mission is to provide a sanctuary where individuals can embark on their healing journey, unveiling buried pains to foster self-compassion and prosperity. My professional background extends beyond therapy, having spent a decade as a lawyer specializing in criminal law. This experience, among others, fueled my passion for guiding children away from negative cycles toward empowerment and positive change.

It is so exciting to think about going to therapy to learn more about yourself and understand who you are and why you feel the way you do, and at the same time, reaching out for help can be intimidating, uncomfortable, and overwhelming. I get it - that fear and discomfort that you may feel is common and it makes sense!

I specialize in helping people who feel isolated and disconnected. You have so many life experiences, some of which may cause pain, loneliness and disconnection. It is easy to lose sight of what once gave you purpose and passion. I would love to help you reconnect to yourself and your values, re-engage in important relationships and use your voice to fully be seen, heard and understood in your life.

I provide a nonjudgmental, healing relationship with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, as well as those who have been abused as a child or adult. I help clients process repeating negative memories and self-judgment to achieve a positive sense of self, self-esteem, and confidence. By accepting who we are and what has happened to us, we can learn to be assertive for self and in relationships.

Krysta is Breakthrough’s Clinical Director and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor. Krysta has been providing clinical mental health counseling in the Sioux Falls area since 2012 and has a passion for working with adolescents and their families.

Sex addiction doesn't have to continue ruining your life. Life may feel hopeless, and your anxiety may be higher than you've ever felt before. Yet, it doesn't have to stay this way. My clients all have two things in common: 1) They want to be here for themselves, even when others are making them, and 2) They work to achieve their goals. They come to me usually in a state of panic or depression, or some even come in when their world is chaotic and out of control. When you're ready to tackle your issues, give me a call.

Allow yourself an opportunity for acceptance and healing.

I don't believe in the "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality, and absolutely think this life is not meant to be lived through suffering or battling your demons alone. We as humans, are meant to live in connection with each other. I want to help, and I have ample experience to do so, whether it be through personal or academic.

Taking a few new clients. In Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer there is the Island of Misfit Toys, filled with playthings that seek love but are rejected because they don’t function like traditional toys. Many people we work with feel the same way. They have beautiful personalities, but for one reason or another they just don’t “fit.” Sometimes that shows up through troubles at work or home. Sometimes people just can’t get out of bed each morning. Whatever your challenge, we want you to know you have a home. At Credo, we’ll help you embrace what is unique in you and navigate what often feels like a foreign world.

The world is a complicated and messy place, and life can be the same way. Luckily resilience, coping, and inner strength are all skills we can learn, not traits that we either have or don't have.

I enjoy working with individuals, teens, and athletes. I like to work with people whom are willing to look at their entire life balance as part of their treatment plan in counseling. I believe in utilizing a holistic approach to create balance in one's life, which will help manage mental health symptoms they may be experiencing. I feel that if an individual is wanting to make sustainable changes and improve their mental health, it is important to look at the entire lifestyle and not just one area.

The Journey of life is one that is often filled with both moments of joy and moments of sorrow. Unfortunately for some, these moments of sorrow are either endured alone or leave couples and family members feeling as if there are no options. As a therapist I feel honored to have the opportunity to offer assistance to individual, couples, and families who are feeling stuck in the sorrows of life. And to not only present options to the struggles of life, but to also walk alongside your journey of life.
