Nancy Lucas
I have been a therapist for over 10 years. My full time day therapist position involves working with troubled women entangled in the legal system in various ways. I have previously worked with children, adolescents, couples, and adults. I believe that life is much too short to not be happy, and every human should reach for that goal. Each healthy relationship between two people is unique and to be treasured. At times the journey through that relationship can be tricky. This is my way of telling you that sexual orientation, race, or culture are not barriers for me. I embrace uniqueness and promote that theme. POOR COMMUNICATION IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR TROUBLED RELATIONSHIPS. My counseling style is relaxed and I believe in a therapeutic relationship in which we will work to find the answer and awareness together. I believe I am here to help you find your answers. Once again let me state that I am here to help you find your answers! Laughter and humor is often the best medicine even in a therapeutic relationship. I am trained in Seeking Safety and Finding Your Best Self by Lisa Navajits. I also find the 5 Love Languages to be useful. If you are ready to take the journey towards solutions I am ready. I want to help others who want to help themselves. I will never pressure you to make future therapy sessions, but will encourage you to reach out and schedule when you are ready. I will make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I check for messages every day and will respond at a minimum within 12-18 hours.

Clients that I work with are the leaders of therapy. I will work along side you and help guide you. I believe therapy is your journey, not mine. I want to help people who struggle with everyday life and help them feel confident and happy with the choices they make. They are the ones that know what will help them the most, sometimes we just need help figuring that out. I help with validating thoughts and feelings, building coping skills, managing stressors and overall life skills. I can help people begin to express themselves in a healthy and safe way and communicate in a way that they will be heard. I have worked with individuals in an inpatient setting as well as in private practice. I have a Master's Degree in Human Relations Counseling and am licensed as an LPC and LADC. My go to approach is client centered and as I stated earlier this journey is yours, I am hopeful and confident that I can and have made a difference in people's lives for the better and I build rapport very easily and believe in each person being able to reach their goals and will help assist you in obtaining those goals.
