INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

Whatever your reason for seeking out Psychotherapy, we are dedicated to helping you find your way to better mental health. Book your first appointment to get started on your journey towards the life you deserve.

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches clients new skills to manage emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. It is an evidence-based treatment approach with proven effectiveness for a variety of clients. Mindfulness skills and other techniques are learned through this form of therapy.

ART THERAPY

Through the use of art materials, the creative process, and guidance from a trained art therapist, individuals can resolve conflicts and problems, develop interpersonal skills, manage behavior, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness and achieve insight.

CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY SERVICES

Utilize individual therapy to learn how substance use and addiction may be impacting your life. Become more aware of thoughts, emotions, trauma, environmental factors, etc. that may be triggering drinking, drug use, or other addictive patterns and behaviors. Explore stress management strategies, healthy coping skills, codependency, family dynamics, and gain accountability to not only make a change, but create a sustainable and enjoyable life in recovery.

TELEHEALTH & IN-PERSON SESSIONS

We offer both in-person and telehealth services so you can choose what works best for your life and schedule. Whether you choose one or the other or do a combination of both, you have options for more flexibility so distance, weather or illness are not obstacles in your care. We are able to offer virtual sessions to residents of South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska!

BRAINSPOTTING

At MK Counseling, we are excited to offer Brainspotting, a revolutionary and highly effective therapeutic technique designed to help individuals overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Brainspotting is based on the premise that “where you look affects how you feel.” This approach allows our therapists to access deep neurological pathways to healing by identifying specific eye positions that correlate with emotional and somatic stress. Our team boasts five professionals who have undergone rigorous training to provide this innovative therapy. Brainspotting can be an invaluable tool for those seeking profound and lasting change, especially here in the heart of Sioux Falls. If you’re ready to explore how Brainspotting can help you on your healing journey, contact us today to learn more and schedule a session.

ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides a unique approach to managing unwanted thoughts and feelings. Instead of struggling against these internal experiences, ACT teaches us to accept them and move forward. By ending the internal war, we can focus on living the life we want, free from the constant battle against our thoughts and emotions.

ROOTS IN RECOVERY

At MK Counseling, we are proud to introduce Roots in Recovery, a supportive bi-weekly group designed specifically for individuals who are actively committed to sobriety and seeking growth beyond addiction. This group is ideal for those who have embraced a sober lifestyle and are ready to focus on topics such as building support networks, overcoming guilt and shame, finding motivation and purpose, and more. Please note, this group is for those who are already in recovery; sobriety is required for each session to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all members. Led by facilitators Alicia and Dylan, Roots in Recovery will meet every other Monday at 5 PM, beginning on November 18th. Whether you are a current MK client or a member of the community, we welcome you to join us in deepening your journey of resilience and rediscovery.
