Victus Counseling is dedicated to guiding individuals on a transformative journey toward recovery from eating disorders. We understand the complexities of these conditions and offer a supportive environment where you can find the most effective treatment tailored to your needs. Our experienced team uses a range of evidence-based therapies, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps in altering negative thought patterns; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), encouraging a life aligned with personal values even in the face of distress; and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which equips you with coping skills for emotional stability.
We also incorporate Motivational Interviewing to empower your willingness to change, Person-Centered Therapy to provide a non-judgmental space for growth, and Family Behavior Therapy (FBT) to engage the support of loved ones in your recovery process. Every step you take with us is a stride toward reclaiming control and creating a balanced, fulfilling life.
Payments & Insurance
We accept cash, credit card, online payments & checks.
Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, BlueCross and BlueShield, Avera, Sanford & more.
Sometimes the most important thing we can do is stop for what everyone else walks past.
I was out of state visiting my daughter while she looked for an emotional support animal. Like most people, we were drawn to the small puppies—the “easy” ones.
But then I noticed a big 12-week-old pup being ignored by everyone.
When I asked to meet her, the staff warned me:
“You don’t want her. She’s wild.”
I said, “That’s exactly why I want to see her.”
And wow… they were right. She came in bouncing off the walls—biting, jumping, total Turner & Hooch energy.
But I picked her up, held her close, and said softly:
“Hey buddy… you’ve got to calm down to get adopted.”
She didn’t listen with her ears—she listened with her nervous system.
She could feel someone anchoring her. Holding space. Not flinching.
And it reminded me: that’s what therapy is.
Presence. Patience. Connection. Sitting with the “wild” without turning away.
Things feel pretty wild right now in the world.
Don’t forget to slow down, breathe, and find the spaces (and people) that can hold you when life feels like too much.
And when you can… be that space for someone else.

Rough flight out of cold South Dakota and fun to see all Hoosier fans out here! Visiting friends and family in Florida and the Indiana fan base is definitely representing here in south Florida! I am totally an adopted fan and always sending lots of love to the amazing Clincians mentors and clinics out of Indy. We appreciate your support and help in South Dakota specializing in eating disorder recovery work. We couldn’t do it without our Indiana community encouraging our work!

I have to share the hardest part of my job trying to grow the only stand alone eating disorder clinic with on-site dietitians and CEDS providers is not the 14 hour days, not the waitlist or critical needs our communities have trying to get help for an eating disorder, no…the hardest part is the insurance industry.
Transparency and accountability is needed - Parity Enforcement is needed.
Never let another company, or organization, or the broken insurance system take your joy out of what you do serving others - even when it looks hopeless. I think in my personal not professional opinion- insurance companies wait for providers to give up trying - I practice the long game though 😊🗑️🏀
Enjoy my coping skills after a day of utilization review calls and more evidence to support what is not working in the broken system. ... See MoreSee Less

It might be - negative weather out and we only show up positive with a therapist and two of South Dakota’s BEST dietitians combined @Cascata Italian Cuisine.
It’s very special to celebrate this holiday with Meggie Holden, RD CEDS-C and Molly Cozad, RD of Compassionate Nutrition
South Dakota is VERY lucky to have such amazing providers who show up real both in and out of “work”. Recovery work is not a paycheck it’s an ethos, it’s a reality, it’s a culture we believe in.
So many more exciting things to come in 2026!!
Merry Christmas from Victus Counseling! Believing 2026 brings new levels of recovery for all doing the work. ♥️ ... See MoreSee Less

Dear (insert insurance company name) your mailed U/R notices treating eating disorders are no match for mailed Indiana Swag from my Hoosier friends.
Glad they came in on the same day - inspires me to keep on challenging the broken insurance system.
(Good 🏈today @Indiana State University vs South Dakota State University. The hoodie came in before the game started! #SDSU alumni 😬)
