Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with understanding—of ourselves, our patterns, and the biological and emotional systems that shape how we experience the world. I work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns, integrating clinical experience, psychological insight, and education about how the brain and nervous system function under stress, trauma, and emotional strain.
Throughout my career in community mental health, private practice, medical settings, and teaching, I have worked with people facing complex emotional and relational challenges. These experiences have shaped a practical, compassionate, and direct style that focuses on helping clients understand why they feel and react the way they do, while developing concrete skills for change. I believe therapy is not only about symptom relief but about increasing self-awareness, emotional regulation, and the ability to navigate life with greater clarity and intention.
My work often includes helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses. By learning how to regulate the nervous system and tolerate uncertainty, individuals can respond more thoughtfully rather than react automatically. I aim to create a collaborative and respectful therapeutic environment where clients feel safe to explore difficult experiences, retell their stories when needed, and move toward a stronger sense of stability and self-understanding.
Therapy is a process of growth, accountability, and compassion. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to help them build insight, resilience, and a more grounded sense of who they are and how they want to live.

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.

Amanda Cummings Brandenburg
Psychologist, PhD
I am a counseling psychologist with a high level of personal responsibility and a strong drive to provide high-quality counseling services. I strive to individualize my services to each client’s needs and do not follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I believe therapy is an art AND a science and pay special attention to the needs and preferences of each client. I keep a small caseload to help prevent burnout and to allow myself to better focus on the individuals I serve.
I identify as a first-generation college student, a cycle-breaker, and a mother to a child with a disability called Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). I know what it is like to persevere and overcome hardships in everyday life. I also strongly value bringing humanness and humility to my counseling practice, allowing for authentic connection.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
I'm Dr. Anna Smith (she/her), a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. I offer online sex therapy, couples therapy, & relationship counseling across the US in 40+ states — for people who want deeper intimacy, more honest communication, & relationships that feel good.
What makes my practice different is that it’s built entirely around deep relational and sexual intimacy—nothing else. With over a decade focused exclusively on couples and sex therapy, AASECT certification, and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care, I’m not a generalist who happens to see couples; this is the work I love.
Clients tell me they finally feel seen, supported, and gently challenged in the exact ways they need. If you care deeply about your relationship (or your relationship with yourself) but feel stuck, exhausted by the same patterns, or unsure how to talk about sex without shame, I’d be honored to help. You deserve a therapist who specializes in exactly what you’re struggling with—and who can help you create the safety, closeness, and pleasure you’ve been longing for. Let’s talk.

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.
