Meet The Livingood Center Founders
Kate Livingood
Chief Clinical Officer and CEO
When someone comes to me, I want to know: Why is this person hurting? What are they afraid of? What’s happening with their mental health?
We want to put the puzzle together and figure out what piece is missing that we can help them find a personal recovery that is truly fulfilling and theirs to keep.
Dr. Jesuel Alamo
When I start to work with a new client, I want to understand what brings them to us and how I can help them. We want this to be the last treatment program that you go to.
I work with our clients facilitate change in their lives that makes it worth continuing recovery for.
