Whether you are experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma, or noticing relationship patterns you want to change, we can join forces to understand what’s beneath your difficulties so you can grieve losses, live more freely, deepen your relationships, and feel better. At Live Oak Psychological Services, we specialize in helping you understand yourself. We are a small group practice including Dr. Susan Ryan, licensed psychologist, and registered psychological associates Mac Porter, PsyD and Jonathan Vasquez, MA working under Dr. Ryan's supervision.

In addition to therapy we provide assessment for ADHD and learning disabilities, supporting you in understanding how your mind works and how to thrive in daily life. Whether you are adjusting to major transitions, coping with loss, or seeking deeper self-understanding, our work focuses on cultivating insight, growth, and meaningful connection.

You don't have to figure it all out alone. We provide caring listening and support, empathy for your pain, and an open and curious place to explore and understand you. We strive to create an inclusive space where clients of all backgrounds feel heard and respected. Email or call for an initial consultation at no charge.

Relationships are the heart of our work. Underneath our problems are relationships with ourselves and others that are out of balance. Maybe we don't know how to say no, or don't want to depend on others. These issues can be magnified as we reach older adulthood. Together we can understand you deeply so that meaningful change is possible. I also support neurodivergence and provide ADHD assessment.

Emotions have important information for us about our needs. But we often learn to ignore our emotions or cover them up, making it hard to know what we feel and what we need. We often learn early on that some feelings are not acceptable. In therapy with me, we'll work together to understand the true feelings underneath your problem so that you can use them to make good choices for yourself.
