Psychotherapy
Therapy for couples, families, and you one-on-one, with room for your body as well as your words. Trauma-informed and EMDR-trained.
Healing, together.
Body-informed therapy in Rapid City, for couples, families, and you. We'll start with a short call and go from there.
A practice that treats the whole person
Dharma Wellness Institute is a heart-based healing practice in downtown Rapid City, South Dakota. Nicole Stone — a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Massage Therapist, and yoga teacher — opened it in 2012 because the kind of care she wanted for her community didn't exist in one place.
Here, therapy, bodywork, and contemplative practice live in the same room. A counseling session might end with a breathing practice. Bodywork is its own medicine here, not a warm-up for therapy. The approach weaves Western psychological theory with Eastern mind, body, and spirit traditions — and it moves at your pace.
Come as a couple, as a family, or on your own. Whether you're carrying trauma, stress that has settled into your body, or simply a sense that something needs to shift, you're welcome here. Sessions are in person at 518 6th Street #4, and over Zoom for anyone living in South Dakota.
