Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in South Dakota

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.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to delivering personalized, evidence-based support to individuals of all ages. I have over 13 years of experience in healthcare, and I hold degrees in both Sociology and Nursing. I have a strong desire to make a meaningful difference in mental health care.

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 believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling genuinely seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to create an honest space in which we can safely and non-judgmentally explore your concerns. I work with people facing a wide range of challenges, some of which include depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and social issues, as well as situation based challenges. I value the strength, resilience, and individuality each person brings to the therapeutic process, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you work toward meaningful change.

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.

I believe that meaningful mental health care begins with feeling heard, respected, and understood. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with seven years of experience, I take a warm, open-minded, and holistic approach to care. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, eating disorders, family concerns, and other mental health challenges.
