So, I had to deal with some personal stuff, you know, life getting a bit too heavy, and I decided it was time to get some help. I heard about this place, Black Hills Psychological Associates, and figured, why not give it a shot? Let me tell you, it was quite the experience.
First, I did some digging. I found out that they’re located in Rapid City, and there’s another one called Psychological Associates of the Black Hills – Custer, which is on 14 Mt Rushmore Rd Suite C. Sounds fancy, right? I also saw they offer therapy for everyone – individuals, couples, even kids and teenagers. It felt a little overwhelming at first, just the thought of starting therapy.
Making the Call
Then I stumbled upon a phone number (605) 348-6500. It was for the one in Rapid City, I guess. I called them up, a bit nervous, to schedule an appointment. The person on the other end was nice enough, and we set a date. I also found another number, (605) 348-5401, for something called Black Hills Psychiatry Association on 528 Quincy St. Just in case, you know?
The First Visit
When I got there, I was really hoping to find someone who could help me with my issues. I saw a Dr. Goschke. He seemed like he knew what he was doing. We talked, and I started to feel like maybe, just maybe, I was in the right place. I felt relieved.
Digging Deeper
After my first session, I started to get curious about what these psychologists actually do. Turns out, they’re trained to assess, treat, and prevent behavioral and mental stuff. They can even diagnose neuropsychological disorders. Pretty impressive.
The Experience
- Started looking for a therapist.
- Found Black Hills Psychological Associates.
- Called and scheduled an appointment.
- Visited and met with a Dr. Goschke.
- Learned about what psychologists do.
- Felt a bit better about my situation.
Overall, it’s been a process. Still a long way to go, but I’m glad I took that first step. It’s like they say, sometimes you just need a little help to get back on track. And hey, if you’re ever feeling overwhelmed, maybe give this place a try. It might just be what you need.I thought it was kind of interesting, I mean, what if the counselor falls in love with their client? I’m just kidding. It’s not appropriate, of course.
By the way, there is also a Black Hills Behavioral Health Guide. It seems to be a good resource for finding mental health services in the area.
So yeah, that’s my story about Black Hills Psychological Associates. It was a leap of faith, but I think it’s paying off.
