San Diego, California therapist: Su Boudreau, LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

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!

Elvina Inzano (legal name: vincent inzano)

Marriage and Family Therapist, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT 130331
I work towards engaging from a compassionate, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed positionality. One of my focuses is on collaborating to better understand yourself(selves) as integrated mind/body/spirit/social/relational being(s) (soma) and reprocessing what your soma(s) hold. Some of the ways in which we can do this is through building upon the stories that empower you , learning skills for personal and/or interpersonal fulfillment. We all deserve to live our lives liberated from the reactive survival responses of trauma.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
