Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
I believe the human spirit is incredibly resilient and we all have the innate capacity to heal--I don't view mental health struggles as a sign of defect or "disorder," but rather a signal of unmet basic needs for love, attention, acceptance, and compassion.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
At LiveConscious, helping clients prevent and reduce burn outs from work and relationships are one of the main goals in addition to improving mental health. The common issues clients seek therapy for are stresses from familial dynamics, intimate relational patterns, and work, with or without some sort of mental health symptoms. As a licensed therapist in Marriage and Family Therapy, experienced with clients with various conditions for both children and adults. LiveConscious clinicians help clients navigate their main concerns by providing education around the topic, exploring creative solutions to problems, and guiding you to arrive at the sound solutions or to learn necessary coping skills to better manage your stressors or mood symptoms. The holistic view of the problem and care are the foundational practice at LiveConscious. A side note, you cannot meditate away all your life problems, especially for those tough or chronic issues. It can be misleading that there are people out there as if teaching a meditation technique alone will fix all your life issues. It's a false advertisement as if learning a trick, such as a meditation technique, will prevent or improve your core issues. Individually tailored therapy treatment at LiveConscious is such a comprehensive and deeper level of transformation that deals with aspects that such learning some meditative technique alone cannot fix/improve. Sometimes it can take years to just find the right Dr. or treatment for your illness. Personally, I had experienced an illness that took 8 years just to get a proper diagnosis to my sickness in health to find the right Dr. who can properly screen and provide you with the treatment that works for your symptoms. Mental health also often I heard from people that took a lifelong to find someone who can help with their symptoms/illness. If you notice mental health symptoms, it's a sign that requires medical attention. The sooner you start, it will be benefitical for you. Hope you find the right treatment Provider who can assist you to get better sooner than later!
