Our Team
At Liv Mental Health, we believe the therapeutic relationship matters. Reaching out for support takes courage, and our team of therapists is here to meet you with care, trust, and compassion.
If you’re wondering what “a good fit” in therapy might look or feel like for you, this note from our founder explores that more deeply.
Olivia C. Padelukas
Olivia works primarily with people navigating relationship challenges—with partners, family, friends, and within themselves. She believes the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful change and brings warmth, care, and respect to that space. Her approach is steady and compassionate, but not passive.
In her work, she helps clients look honestly at recurring patterns, understand what may be shaping them, and explore how they show up in relationships over time. The goal isn’t quick reassurance, but meaningful growth and deeper, more fulfilling connection.
