Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When a family is ravaged by addiction - of any kind - everyone is affected and everyone needs to heal. At Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling, we work with the family members first, so that they can make the changes they need to make to truly help the addicts they love. The results we achieve are amazing - the addicts and their families begin to make healthier life choices so that recovery from the devastation of addiction leads to their new way of life.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Sioux Falls is South Dakota's largest city and a regional center for healthcare, finance, and retail, with two major health systems—Sanford Health and Avera Health—each operating significant behavioral health programs that serve the city and a wide surrounding rural region. The city has grown rapidly and attracted a notable refugee resettlement population, creating demand for culturally diverse and multilingual mental health services alongside the needs of the established community. Cold winters and geographic isolation from other major urban centers contribute to elevated rates of seasonal depression and loneliness. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, and the challenges of navigating mental health care in a region where conservative and religious cultural attitudes toward therapy coexist with growing acceptance.
