Grief counselors and therapists in Sioux Falls, SD

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in South Dakota, and I work exclusively via telehealth — which means I can see clients from anywhere in the state, whether you're in Sioux Falls, a reservation community, or a town with one stoplight. I have a background in school counseling, which means I understand how kids think, how families work, and how what happens at school follows everyone home. I work with people of all ages — from young children to seniors — including military families, new and expecting mothers, adults carrying old trauma, and anyone somewhere in the middle of a hard season. I tend to be warm but direct. I won't waste your time dancing around what's actually going on.

Tired of pretending everything is, ok? All the while, you're in your own private battle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or grief. Life stress is inevitable. However, lack of support and distress tolerance skills can make managing life's stressors nearly impossible. It's exhausting keeping on that mask. How are you really though?

I have over10 years' experience as a therapist and 15 in social work field. I offer person centered and strength focused care to meet individuals and families in their unique places in life. I happily see patients from 5-100+. I have a special place in my heart and practice for teens, young adults, and parents raising little humans.

Hi! I am Adriane Cox, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Cox Mental Health and Wellness. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, life transitions and chronic pain.

I am a therapist who enjoys getting to know my new clients, learning what makes them unique, what is important to them and more. I want you to get something out of therapy that will benefit you for a lifetime, not just a vent session (although I'm up for that too if it's really what you need). I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds and genuinely enjoy my time with my clients.

If you've been told your anxiety, exhaustion, or emotional shifts are "just stress" or "just aging" — and something in you knows it's more than that — you're in the right place. I'm Kristal, a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting people through life's most challenging transitions. That career — rooted in crisis intervention, child welfare, and working alongside people experiencing homelessness — built in me a deep capacity to sit with complexity, pain, and change without flinching. That foundation now drives my specialized work with women navigating perimenopause and menopause. I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work. I've walked this road myself — which means when you show up, you will be genuinely seen and heard, perhaps in a way you haven't been in a long time.
