Hello friends and colleagues,
My name is Kris Jeakins, and as the owner of Jeakins Counseling, I’m passionate about building a vibrant and supportive mental health community right here in the Black Hills. That’s why I’m truly excited to announce the launch of my new endeavor—the Black Hills Mental Health Collaborative.
This isn’t just a new business; it’s a vision for how we, as dedicated therapists, can support each other while also delivering even better care to those we serve. At the Collaborative, my hope is to create a welcoming space where professionals can connect, grow, and lift each other up—all with the shared goal of making a positive impact in our community.
We’re putting the finishing touches on our office space, and there are just a handful of offices left—each about 8 by 12 feet, thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and professionalism for your practice.
If you’re running your own private practice and looking for a community that values collaboration and independence, I’d love to chat. We offer flexible options, whether you’d like to stay independent, work as a 1099 contracted therapist, or join us under the Jeakins Counseling umbrella for supervision.
If you’re a passionate mental health professional seeking connection, encouragement, and a sense of belonging, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be delighted to tell you more and answer any questions at [krisjeakins@hotmail.com](mailto:krisjeakins@hotmail.com) or (605) 430-4214

It may not always be comfortable at first, but engaging in new experiences delivers a proven mental-health boost. In fact, the benefits are so wide-ranging that doing new things should probably be considered an essential element of well-being.
