Korina Brockhaus, MS, LMFT-Supervisee

I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Chapman University in Orange, CA in 2010. I then obtained a Master of Science degree in Engineering Management from SDSM&T in Rapid City, SD in 2012. I worked for just under a decade in the engineering and management industries, before deciding to obtain a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University in Minnesota, graduating in 2022. I am currently working toward my licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy under the supervision of Angie Arnold.

I believe that healing should be holistic and collaborative. I think that the body, mind, and soul are always interacting and affecting one another; and therefore, need to be woven into the growth and healing process. I also appreciate the strong role that faith can play in the process of growth, healing, and recovery. I enjoy working with my clients to determine the best path for their journey.

I enjoy working with couples who may be struggling with marital dissatisfaction, communication, or parenting; teens and adults who may have experienced adverse life events, life transitions, loss, trauma, abuse, divorce, childhood trauma, or sexual trauma. These things can often contribute to struggles with grief, emotional dysregulation, panic attacks, distress tolerance, verbal communication skills, interpersonal social skills, relational distress, and more generalized life management skills, which I believe can all be treated through the therapeutic process. I love supporting people and providing them with useful tools as they heal from these wounds.

I have lived in multiple places across the United States and even Europe (for a very brief moment). So, my childhood and adult experiences are quite unique. I prefer to think that this gives me an enriched perspective that I enjoy bringing into the experiential part of my practice. My husband and I are now settled in Webster, SD, where we are raising our 3 boys. I absolutely love spending time with my family and supporting everyone’s efforts to achieve our dreams. When I am not spending time with them, I very much enjoy jumping in on sand or indoor volleyball tournaments, and researching natural health remedies, detox protocols, and tools for my therapy practice.
