People seek counseling for many reason, including feelings of anxiety and/or depression, stress, seeking perspective from a neutral, objective, and unbiased person, to improve relationships, losing a loved one, unable to stop intrusive or negative thoughts, wanting to improve self-worth, or to seek clarity on past, unresolved issues.

Therapists at The Wellness Collective approach working with you with grace. We strive to provide a safe, judgment free, and collaborative environment to help you meet your needs in a healthier way, and experience well-being and wholeness.

Counseling can be short-term to address immediate problems, or long-term to address more complex problems. Appointments are typically scheduled weekly, or biweekly, and last approximately 55 minutes. The goals of treatment, and how often you meet for counseling, is determined between you and your therapist.

Trust and relationship between you and your therapist is essential to working together effectively. It is important that you connect with each other and that therapy is a safe space for you to heal. When both you and your therapist are actively involved in the therapeutic work, real change can happen.

We ask that new clients call 605-271-5640 to schedule their initial appointment, so we can connect you with the best provider and services for your needs, answer any questions you may have, and send you paperwork to be completed prior to your initial appointment. Therapists at The Wellness Collective accept the following insurances: Avera, Blue Cross Blue Shield, DakotaCare, Health Partners, Humana, Medica, Medicaid, Medicare, Sanford, UMR, and United.

*Every insurance policy is different, and not all providers are in-network with all insurance companies - please confirm insurance coverage prior to your initial appointment. You may also contact billing@wellnesscollectivesd.com for assistance.
