Christina Shonkwiler
Hypnotherapist, MA, CHT
I work with therapists, coaches, artists, moms... people who feel like they're giving themselves away, depleted from always taking care of others: especially if this began in your own childhood family due to mental illness or trauma.
Together, we'll take a compassionate look at what brings a sense of ease and allows you to open up, allowing energy to flow towards your own stabilization and well-being.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

Nikita Marina
Psychologist, Holistic Psychology and Coaching, Past Life Regression Therapy (IST), Spiritual Mentorship
I’m Nikita Marina, a holistic psychologist, Inner Space Therapist (IST), and a licensed Integral Coach™. I specialize in working with individuals on a quest for deeper self-knowing and healing.
I’ve found IST Regression therapy to be incredibly effective in addressing deep emotional blockages, trauma, and feelings of defeat, and disconnection. IST goes deeper than traditional talk therapy, reaching places it often cannot.
This approach supports emotional and psychological well-being while nurturing spiritual healing, clearing blockages to create space for clarity, joy, and a deeper connection to your true self.

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!

Isobel Heath
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MFT
I work with individuals and couples seeking to overcome depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, eating disorders, and relationship challenges. I often work with adult survivors of complex developmental trauma, such as those who grew up experiencing emotional abuse, neglect, or alcoholic family systems. I am also passionate about helping couples improve their communication and conflict resolution skills. I view relationship challenges as opportunities to deepen understanding and ultimately create greater emotional intimacy when navigated skillfully. I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations, and I enjoy providing culturally sensitive services to the LGBTQ+ community.

Lisa Chester-Schyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
What makes my practice unique is the presence, depth and care I bring to each session. I will meet you where you are and offer a compassionate space to explore the layers that exist beneath grief, loss, life transitions and trauma. My work is grounded in genuine connection and deep listening and I will offer a reflection of what I am hearing you say. This helps clients move toward healing and self-understanding at their own pace. If you are in need of someone to walk beside you I invite you to reach out. You're not alone.
