Psychology Practice – Hope Therapy and Evaluation Services
Hope Therapy and Evaluation Services, LLC is a psychology practice in Vermillion, South Dakota, led by Kris Brady, Ph.D., a licensed psychologist. The office is located at 6 West Main Street, Vermillion, SD 57069, above The Bean establishment in downtown Vermillion.
Dr. Brady provides individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based treatment strategies that integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with approaches tailored to the individual needs of each client. Treatment areas listed on the site include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, OCD, eating disorders, ADHD, chronic pain, self-image concerns, relationship difficulties, and behavioral issues. The practice does not provide court-ordered services.
In addition to therapy, the practice offers psychological evaluations for individuals from age five through adulthood. Evaluation types available include ADHD assessments, pre-surgical screenings, and pre-enlistment military evaluations, representing a range of assessment services beyond standard clinical therapy work.
Session formats include in-person appointments at the Vermillion office. Telehealth services are offered under PSYPACT authority for clients in PSYPACT-participating states. Dr. Brady notes on the site that certain clinical situations make telehealth inappropriate and encourages prospective clients to consult directly to determine the right service format for their circumstances.
The practice participates in several insurance networks, including Avera Health Plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Sanford Health Plans, and South Dakota Medicaid. Because coverage varies by individual plan, the site recommends that clients contact their insurance provider to verify specific benefits and deductibles prior to scheduling.
The combination of therapy and formal psychological evaluation services under one practice makes Hope Therapy and Evaluation Services a resource for clients who may need diagnostic clarity alongside or prior to entering ongoing therapy. Dr. Brady’s PSYPACT authorization also extends the practice’s reach to clients in eligible states who prefer telehealth access.
Contact is available by phone at 605-657-1074 and by fax at 605-401-4097. Prospective clients are encouraged to call to request appointments and discuss their specific concerns. No year of establishment is listed on the site.
