Our Team
Lisa Livingston
MS, LPCC, LADC Clinical Director
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
MA, LPCC, Mental Health Counselor
Hello! My name is Tabitha Cadmus. A little about me: 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 Master 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 Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as appropriate for the client. My preferred age range for clients 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 along the gender and sexuality spectrum and do my best to honor preferred pronouns and names. I prefer to work with individuals instead of couples, largely because I have not had much experience in couples work and am uncertain whether I would be as helpful in this role, but I 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, and 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.
Maranda Donahue
MA, LADC, LPC, CCTP
My name is Maranda, but you can call me Mandy! I live in Northern Minnesota and have a Doberman named Allie Mae, a stinky and loving English Bulldog named Waylon, a fat cat (imagine Garfield — he does like pizza too) named Trigger, and a jumping spider named Margo Mango. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I also enjoy my solitude; relaxing by napping, doing diamond art, reading, and coloring.
I am a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am also a clinical trainee, working toward becoming a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I started in the substance abuse and mental health field in 2018, working as a Chemical Dependency Technician and then as an Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services practitioner. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from Minnesota State University of Moorhead, then my Master's Degree in Addiction Counseling with Co-Occurring Disorders from Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies. I do not have a particular specialty, as I prefer to draw from multiple modalities based on each person's needs and learning style. I utilize a person-centered, strengths-based approach. I work with individuals and couples aged 18 and older, but I prefer individual counseling to couples counseling. The aspect of counseling and therapy that I thoroughly enjoy the most is when my clients are able to see the changes that they have made, work, and ultimately benefit in their lives. I also enjoy seeing confidence grow in clients who did not have it before. I truly cannot say it enough, but I am forever grateful to be able to help others.
