Spirituality Therapists in Clay County, SD

It takes courage and strength to ask for help. I am honored to be trusted with your story. I believe healing and inspiration can come from a variety of sources: including creative outlets like music and art, the outdoors, spirituality and our relationships. I will honor our relationship we create with unconditional positive regard, safety, and confidentiality. I am excited to learn more about you and what you believe it is important for a person to be. I believe we will do good and meaningful work together.

My goal as a therapist is to create a comfortable and safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. My practice focuses on meeting you where you are at with validation, empathy, and nonjudgement. Wellness involves every aspect of our lives, so it’s important to take a holistic approach and build a strong foundation to move you towards a satisfying life. I believe in the power of positive thinking, identifying and validating our emotions while also acknowledging the impact that trauma, pain, and stress can have on an individual. I value your uniqueness and understand that each client has unique needs in a therapeutic space.

Stuck? Alone? Why do I do the things I don't want to do, and don't do the things I want to do? Struggling to trust or feel worthy of love? Failed attempts to connect on repeat and overwhelming you? Tired of fighting with no resolution? Dealing with past relational trauma you can't break free from? I am here to help you better connect with others, and even with your own sense of self, even your spirituality if you desire. Find your authentic self and discover you can love that person, and, you are worth being loved. I am here. Lets journey together.

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. One evidence based and effective approach I use is EMDR in both individual and group settings to move past trauma when feeling stuck in the healing process. When you need emotional healing, I am able to provide direction, understanding, and jump start a person's ability to take on the next life challenge.

As a licensed mental health practitioner in private practice, I meet each client and situation with openness and authenticity. My office provides a safe and welcoming space for vulnerability, healing, and personal growth. I utilize a client-centered approach combined with effective psychotherapy interventions to help clients reach their desired level of fulfillment and functioning. Combining a variety of therapeutic interventions with my holistic integrative training offers clients a personalized treatment approach to promote healing and optimal holistic health.

I began my career in residential treatment working with adolescents and adults suffering with a combination of addiction and mental health disorders. I work from an Adlerian perspective with a systems integration. I also often incorporate DBT skills in sessions. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents and work with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm behaviors, relationship issues, addiction, codependence, low self-esteem, and those struggling with life transitions.

Making the decision to come to therapy can be scary. I offer a safe place to for you to express what is happening for you as you are listened to. Life changes, illness, transitions and knowing your needs are not being met cause a variety of emotional turmoil. I can help with direction and finding what will enhance your life by identifying how to move forward once again. Through talk therapy and setting goals we will be able to identify how you can live in peace and happiness. Call to schedule to begin a healing journey for your future. Come to strengthen, change and RENEW, you.

I specialize in working with clients seeking to better understand themselves and foster deeper connections in their relationships. Many of my clients find themselves excelling at many areas of their life while still feeling alone, discontent, and disconnected. This can lead to destructive behaviors as well as depression, anxiety, and addiction. Through a holistic approach, we will get to the heart of the matter and begin to identify and build a life that has more happiness, connection, and contentment. Sessions are a curated experience and conducted with the utmost discretion and regard for confidentiality.

It is a gift to listen and lean in to each of my client’s unique stories as we navigate the difficulties and joys of life. Working with individuals, couples, and families, I seek to offer an accepting, warm, and encouraging space where people learn about, and understand themselves, in light of the world around them. Though I primarily work with teens and families, I do enjoy working with adults and couples as well. I especially enjoy counseling those who have difficulties with depression, anxiety, neurodivergence, Christian/spiritual difficulties, and behavioral issues.

Is therapy something you really don’t want to do, yet life is becoming difficult to handle? If so, I am your therapist. I am the therapist for reluctant people who have trouble asking for help. I will meet your where your are, walk beside you as you heal, and lead you to a healthier way.

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 help people work through difficult experiences so that they can live a more full and hopeful life. My approach to therapy is very relational and I believe that through the therapeutic relationship, one can begin to heal old wounds. I am trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), which helps in processing and changing the way one thinks of themselves in the face of traumatic events.

Hi there! I'm Shyan, founder of Serenity Counseling. We believe the key to understanding and coping with mental health conditions lies at the source of the whole self. Along with an easy going therapeutic environment, we emphasize a whole health approach that encompasses important aspects of healing such as your physical, emotional and for some, spiritual health. Treatment might include mindfulness practices, distress tolerance, environmental adaptations and other evidenced-based treatment options that will improve your ability to process and manage difficult experiences, and increase your capacity to cope in more healthy ways.

Like a skilled artisan, I am drawn to sculpting new narratives from the raw material of life's challenges. My passion lies in guiding individuals, ages 18 and above, through the complex labyrinths of anxiety and trauma. If you feel stuck, or lost, or simply worthless, I want to help you take back the control of the story of your life by helping you work through the expectations and pressures that have separated you from who you have always wanted to be. Together, we'll transform painful stories into masterpieces of resilience, crafting a path towards a more fulfilling and empowering existence.

Are you overwhelmed? Tired? Frustrated? Hurt? Do you feel like you've tried everything but life/emotions are still hard to manage? When life feels this way, it's difficult to know where to turn. There is HOPE. It IS possible to learn how to manage your feelings, heal from your pain, connect to others, and grow into the person you wish to be.

My approach to being a therapist is to be there for a client, much like I would be there for a friend. I enjoy offering support, empathy and a neutral, unbiased perspective. I prefer sessions to be led by my client but am comfortable with providing direction when needed. When appropriate, I like to be a mirror to help a client to gain a different perspective or see a situation in a different way. If a client would like, I will guide them in exploring life experiences that may be contributing to current challenges.
