Hi! My name is Terri Lucas and I have been a practicing counselor for 15 years. I currently reside and am licensed in Arizona. I have experience in many areas of mental health counseling and addictions. Some of my specialty areas include depression, anxiety, trauma, phobias, adult ADHD, college success skills, paraphilias, communication, addictions, and co-occurring disorders.
I believe change is possible for anyone who chooses to embrace it, Clients are the experts on their own lives and I am here to guide you through the process. Counseling should be a safe space for you to come and be able to be open without concern about judgment. I consider myself an eclectic counselor with an emphasis on Person-Centered Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, and Choice Theory. I will pull from a variety of different theoretical approaches and techniques to help my clients depending on the issues presented and how the client responds. I hope to get to work with you to help you reach your goals!
