Play Therapy & Counseling Services in Brookings, SD

Therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale.

Life can get complicated. Sometimes you know exactly what's wrong. Sometimes you just know something doesn't feel right. At The Growth Collective, you don't need to arrive with the right words or a perfect plan. We'll meet you where you are and help you figure out what's next.

Come on in.

South Dakota's coziest therapy office

The Growth Collective is tucked inside a welcoming home in downtown Brookings—a space intentionally created to feel personal, comfortable, and safe.

Play therapy materials used to help children express emotions and process experiences

Sometimes talking isn’t enough

Children don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling. Through play, children can communicate, process experiences, build new skills, and make sense of the world around them.

Play is serious work.

Living room with a brown leather sofa, a smiley face pillow, a colorful patchwork pillow, a potted plant, a side table with a lamp and books, and large windows showing leafless trees outside. Cozy therapy office.

You’re allowed to slow down here.

Our office is intentionally designed to feel more like a home than a traditional clinical setting.

Come as you are.
Take a breath.
Stay awhile.

It’s okay if “I don’t know” is where you are starting.
