Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? You don’t have to face it alone. I help individuals navigate life’s challenges, manage difficult emotions, and build a life that feels more balanced and meaningful. I recognize that seeking support can be one of the hardest steps to take – I strive to make our space feel safe, nonjudgmental, and empower you to be your authentic self. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, end of life concerns, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or simply struggling to cope with life's demands. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Schedule a session when you’re ready.

Some pain doesn't get easier with time. It just gets more familiar.

I work with people who have been carrying something heavy for a long time: survivors of childhood neglect and trauma, people navigating the aftermath of sexual, physical, emotional, or religious violence, and those whose sense of self has been fractured by relational or spiritual betrayal. I also work with Veterans living with PTSD, depression, and substance use, and with thoughtful professionals seeking deep, ongoing therapy to work through disrupted beliefs or a life that has lost its meaning. My practice is open to people across the full lifespan, including children and adolescents.

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.

Kristal Steeves

Therapist

Virtual • South Dakota


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.
