About Me

If you are struggling and something’s just not right, medical treatment through medication or other therapies may be recommended to help balance brain chemistry. Turn to Keely Elgethun, MD, a psychiatrist at Avera Medical Group Behavioral Health in Sioux Falls, SD.

“You know you, and I know a lot. When we come together and work as a team, we can change the course of your life.”

Compassionate Care for Your Mental Health

As a psychiatrist, Dr. Elgethun is part of a multidisciplinary team at Avera to help patients regain passion and hope in their lives. She believes the foundation of a great patient-doctor relationship is the ability to speak freely and without judgment.

She has special interests in:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Eating disorders
  • Bipolar personality disorder
  • Suicidal tendencies

“Every day is a little different, and that’s because I am working with different people with different personalities and different visions for their lives. It’s beautiful that I can be involved and care for the whole person — physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Active Lifestyle

In her free time, Dr. Elgethun enjoys spending time with her family and staying fit through running and hiking.
