Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Sioux Falls, SD covered by Cigna

Hi! I am Adriane Cox, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Cox Mental Health and Wellness. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, life transitions and chronic pain.

Hello! I welcome individuals of all ages. I support clients navigating family dynamics, co-parenting, school-related concerns, relationships, trauma, and military-related stressors, and really, I am here to walk alongside you through whatever challenges you may be facing.

With a background as a school counselor, I understand how life experiences impact emotional and behavioral well-being. My approach is gentle yet direct—I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while also helping you move forward with clarity and intention.

I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach and tailor each session to your unique needs. For those who are interested, I’m also open to incorporating faith-based perspectives into our work.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or seeking support through a transition, I’m here to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, carrying the effects of trauma, or facing a life transition that feels hard to manage, therapy can be a place to exhale. I work with adults who want support making sense of what they’re going through and finding practical ways to feel more grounded, understood, and in control. I also support clients navigating family dynamics, including experiences related to autism, adoption, and complex relationships.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

I am a therapist who enjoys getting to know my new clients, learning what makes them unique, what is important to them and more. I want you to get something out of therapy that will benefit you for a lifetime, not just a vent session (although I'm up for that too if it's really what you need). I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds and genuinely enjoy my time with my clients.

Are you struggling with anxiety, relationship, or addiction issues? I specialize in all three of those. With my 20 years of experience I can help you get the change and relief you are looking for. Most of my clients start to feel better within a couple of sessions. Therapy can be short or long term and I will work with you on a plan that works best for you and your needs. Some of my other experience includes, depression, mood disorders, couples/family issues, major life changes, grief, divorce, domestic violence, parenting, trauma, and adjustments to adult children.

Tired of pretending everything is, ok? All the while, you're in your own private battle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or grief. Life stress is inevitable. However, lack of support and distress tolerance skills can make managing life's stressors nearly impossible. It's exhausting keeping on that mask. How are you really though?

I have over10 years' experience as a therapist and 15 in social work field. I offer person centered and strength focused care to meet individuals and families in their unique places in life. I happily see patients from 5-100+. I have a special place in my heart and practice for teens, young adults, and parents raising little humans.
