Van Kalsbeek Counseling LLC

Now in my ninth year as a licensed counselor, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients throughout South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals recognize and heal from trauma while guiding them toward deeper healing. Trauma isn’t only big dramatic events—it can be any experience that overwhelms your ability to cope and leaves you feeling helpless, stuck, or disconnected. It might stem from something physical, emotional, or even spiritual. Many people don’t realize that what they’ve been through is trauma, but its effects often show up in everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. Acknowledging and working through these wounds is an empowering part of the healing journey. My approach combines EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and mindfulness-based techniques, offering a supportive space where clients can safely explore their past, build resilience, and move forward with greater clarity, deeper self-understanding, and increased self-compassion. I care deeply about meeting each person where they are. If you're ready to experience more peace, connection, and meaning in your life, I’d be honored to support you every step of the way.
