Cedar Lakes Therapy, LLC is a trauma-focused mental health practice headquartered in Watertown, South Dakota, at 525 5th Street SE, Suite 2, Watertown, SD 57201. The practice was co-founded by Karla Schupp, MSW, LCSW-PIP, QMHP, and Pamala Topp, MA, LPC, QMHP. Clinicians hold licenses in South Dakota, Michigan, and Florida, allowing the practice to serve clients across those states. Contact information includes phone (605) 753-9030, fax (605) 699-8385, and email at admin@cedarlakestherapy.com.
The practice states over 20 years of clinical experience focused on the acute and long-term effects of trauma, including emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, neglect, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and Complex PTSD. Treatment modalities listed include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Play Therapy, and Expressive Arts Therapy. ADHD assessments are available for children, adolescents, and adults.
Presenting concerns addressed beyond trauma include depression, anxiety, attachment issues, relationship dynamics, grief, life transitions, mood disorders, and anger and impulse control challenges. Services are provided to individual clients and families. No group therapy offerings or specific session format limitations (in-person versus telehealth) are detailed on the page reviewed, though the multi-state licensure implies availability of remote services across licensed states.
Accepted insurance plans include Avera Health Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, Medicare, Sanford Health Plan, and UMR. No self-pay rates are listed on the homepage. The practice does not state a formal year of establishment, though the stated clinical experience of over 20 years places the practice’s origins in the early 2000s. The “IMHS” designation in the domain reflects the practice’s integrative mental health services orientation. The multi-state licensure in South Dakota, Michigan, and Florida indicates availability of telehealth services for clients in those states, extending the reach of the Watertown-based practice beyond its immediate geographic region. The combination of trauma-specific modalities alongside ADHD assessment services reflects a practice serving both acute trauma presentations and ongoing neurodevelopmental needs across multiple age groups.
