About

Paula Lain Counseling and Co. is a downtown Sioux Falls counseling practice owned and led by Paula Lain Smykle, LPC. The practice takes a goal-based, no-BS approach to therapy: real conversations, direct support, and skilled clinicians who challenge you when you need it instead of just nodding along.

The team includes five licensed clinicians offering individual, couples, teen, tween, and family counseling. Specialties include CBT, TF-CBT, and dog-assisted counseling with Ollie - the only clinically integrated canine-assisted practice in the Sioux Falls region. Intake is electronic and intentionally low-friction; Paula reviews every inquiry and matches each new client with the right-fit therapist on her team.
