My specialty is treating clients suffering from depression and anxiety, I am passionate about helping those who suffer from varying mental health issues. I am fully aware of the impact that living with mental health issues can take on an individual’s life. I believe in helping patients regain control in their lives in order to live their best life. Depression comes in many shapes and sizes from severe to high functioning, all forms of depression can be treatable and I believe that by working together we can come up with a treatment plan to help you feel more like yourself again. Often depression and anxiety can go hand in hand, working with clients who have experienced feelings of both depression and anxiety we can determine appropriate coping skills to help manage both. I have also worked with clients who have experienced varying trauma, from childhood trauma including sexual abuse and domestic violence as well PTSD. We are seeing more and more individuals who experience varying level of trauma from bullying at school, or in the workplace, as well as spiritual trauma from religious experiences.

My approach to therapy is hope-focused and client-centered.

My strongest skills lie in working with anxiety, depression, communication, and life transitions/changes.

I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2007 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPC-MH) in the state of South Dakota. I also hold a Qualified Mental Health Provider (QMHP) certification and am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I earned both my undergraduate degrees in Psychology and Sociology, as well as my master’s degree in Counseling, from the University of South Dakota (USD). My journey as a counselor began at Southeastern Behavioral Healthcare (2007–2011). I then joined Wellspring, a private practice in Sioux Falls, SD (2011–2014). During those years, I also did contract work with the City of Sioux Falls at Falls Community Health (2011–2022), where I had the opportunity to walk alongside individuals from all walks of life, each presenting with unique struggles and stories. In 2014, I opened my own private practice, Agape Counseling Center in Brandon, SD. What started as a solo practice has since grown into a team of six full-time therapists. I work with a wide range of mental health and relational issues. Some of my areas of emphasis include anxiety, depression, trauma, life stressors, self-esteem rebuilding, spirituality, body image concerns, major life transitions, conflict resolution, and couples therapy. One area that holds deep personal meaning for me is working with individuals experiencing grief and loss. This passion was born from my own personal journey following the loss of my twin daughters.

I am Dr. Daniel Maurer and have practiced as a psychologist since 2011. I worked in traditional outpatient behavioral health, correctional settings and military hospitals. I work with individuals between the ages 6-100. I have 3 basic tenets when providing therapy. (1) Techniques should be practical and portable, typically only taking 1-5 minutes to implement. (2) I respect patient agency. Setting treatment goals and determining a treatment modality is a collaborative process. (3) The goal of therapy is to not attend therapy. I am focused on providing the patient with the skills, techniques and ability to function on their own without the need to come to therapy. I specialize in the following areas: PTSD/traum , anxiety, depression, gender identity development, LGBTQIA2+ issues and health psychology (pain, sleep, coping with medical problems). My treatment approach is always based within evidence based treatments, but default to using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment modalities
