Our Team
Lisa Livingston
I am a licensed addiction and mental health therapist. I graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology in July 2012 and my Master of Science in counseling in May 2015, and I became a licensed addiction counselor in December 2015. I got my LPCC in November 2017 and my CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional) in 2018. I have been practicing for a little over ten years; for five of those years, I worked at a dual-diagnosis chemical dependency/ mental health residential treatment center for adults. What I enjoy about being a therapist is helping people heal from their traumas and live healthier lifestyles through self-discovery and sobriety. I specialize in trauma addiction and am in training for IFS (Internal Family Systems). I prefer the IFS model because it integrates with other therapeutic modalities. I enjoy working with all ages but prefer working with teenagers and adults. I have done couples counseling but prefer individuals.
Tabitha Cadmus
Hello! My name is Tabitha Cadmus. A little about me: I'm 39 years old, I am married with two extremely bright and vivacious daughters and four pets. Needless to say, our home can be pretty chaotic. I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor, currently providing therapy services through Greater Minnesota Community Services. I am also a Licensed School Counselor and have a Masters of Arts in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy from Adler Graduate School in Minnetonka, MN. In my therapy work, I prefer to utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as my therapy modality, I LOVE doing EMDR and seeing people come to their own insights organically. However I also utilize Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Adlerian and Dialectial Behavioral Therapy as appropriate for the client. My preferred age of client is 10-25, but I am willing to work with people of any age range. At this point, I consider my specialties to be working with children, EMDR, and being an LGBTQIA+ affirming counselor. I really enjoy working with clients all along the gender and sexuality spectrum and do my best to honor preferred prounouns and names. I prefer to work with individuals instead of couples, largely because I have not had much experience in couple's work and am uncertain whether I would be as helpful in this role, but may be willing to try couples therapy. I have been doing therapy for around 4-5 years now and what I enjoy most is learning people's stories, how they think, then using these insights to help them feel better about themselves, their world, or both. I love to help people acknowledge their strengths, I think this is very important to a good relationship and to begin a good therapeutic journey.
Kristin Appel
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and have been in a clinical mental health role for the past two years, prior to that I worked as a social worker in residential mental health and chemical dependency centers, long term care, and providing community and school based mental health services. I don't have a particular specialty as I prefer to pull from multiple modalities depending on each person's individual needs and learning style. I utilize a person-centered, strengths based approach. I work with individuals ages 5 and up and have training in multiple types of therapy including: cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems, emotional freedom technique/tapping, trauma informed therapy, grief therapy, nutrition and mental health and play therapy techniques. What I enjoy most about being a therapist is getting to witness the extraordinary resiliency and strength each person has, no matter what challenges they may face in life. I believe everyone has what they need to heal inside them before they step into the room for a therapy session, my job is simply to help them access this.
