Have you ever walked in like stage 1 and left like stage 3 in the same eight hours?

I'm a therapist and I still have these days. That's not the exception, that's the job. Every job.

Whatever you're juggling, work, kids, the house, the thing nobody sees you doing, it adds up even when you love it. Especially when you love it.

Which stage are you today? 👇

In an era where childhood anxiety is rising and academic expectations are creeping into younger and younger age groups, we are facing a quiet crisis. The modern classroom often mirrors adult hustle culture: structured, performance-driven, and intensely metrics-focused.

💤Is bedtime a battle at your house?

You're not the only one. Hard nights are far more common than anyone admits, and the good news is that small, research-backed changes can move things in the right direction. 🌙

Swipe for a preview of four of the eight pillars of healthy sleep.

This is just a peek. The full guide goes deeper. All eight pillars, the how behind each one, what's actually happening in the brain at night, age-by-age strategies for children and teens, and support for neurodivergent sleep. Something you can keep and come back to whenever you need it.

This is the work I love. I gather the leading research and the tools experts recommend, then turn it into practical guides real people actually want to use, and can lean on. 💛

With Care,

Alyssa

Hi, I'm Alyssa 🌱

👐Welcome to APH Counseling

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, and I created APH because I value being able to show up as my full, authentic self, and I want the people I work with to feel that same freedom. When I couldn't find a space that fit me, I decided to build one.

I do this work because I believe every person deserves a psychologically safe environment where they feel seen, heard, valued, and understood. It's the kind of space where real healing and growth happen, and where we build the skills to navigate whatever life brings. South Dakota is my home, and my goal is to be a steady resource for the people who live here, whether you're in Sioux Falls or somewhere quieter on the map.

My style is passionate, straightforward, and client centered.

🤍 Therapy
For kids, individuals, couples, and families, including caregivers, educators, and professionals navigating the weight of their roles. An integrative approach shaped around who you are and what you need. Trauma, grief, anxiety, relationships, parenting, big life transitions, whatever you're carrying, it's real, it makes sense, and you don't have to carry it alone.

✨ Personal & Professional Growth Coaching
A separate service from therapy, offered at a cash rate, for clients seeking support with goals and mindset, separate from mental health treatment. Reach out for details.

📍 Based in Sioux Falls, SD | Telehealth available across South Dakota
