Testimonials


I was a patient of Dr. Susan K. Eleeson when experiencing domestic verbal/emotional abuse issues. I found her to be very professional throughout my several years of treatment. She was approachable, warm, compassionate...yet as firm as necessary (as many times as necessary) in exploring issues and options, perceptive in her listening, and articulate in communicating. She communicated/worked with my other healthcare professionals to ensure that I was receiving the best care possible. She provided multiple resources (books, articles etc.) and current research information to further my understanding of the situation. Her highly effective guidance was invaluable in helping me to regain my self, and a healthy experience. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Dr. Eleeson.

Dr. Eleeson is superb! She has helped me through a lot of hard times and is wonderful.
I only wish that I had met Dr. Eleeson much sooner in my life. It was at the end of a long battle with cancer that I met her. She is very kind, compassionate and intelligent professional. Dr. Eleeson is always welcoming, warm and insightful lady. My hope was that after cancer I can move beyond recurrence fears and live a happier and a healthier life and she is helping me do just that. I have visited with counselors in the past and find them bland and without knowledge or advice. Why get the generic bland person to help you when you can get the best. She comes highly regarded in the Sioux Falls community.

Dr. Eleeson has been a trusted advocate and care provider for me for over 15 years. She first treated me for postpartum anxiety and has treated me off and on every since. She is extremely intuitive and perceptive, giving me just the right amount of compassion and challenge. I feel that she has gotten to know me as a multifaceted person. She gained my trust early and has never lost it. I have recommended several other people to her.
