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.

My specialty would be trauma from abuse (emotional, physical, spiritual, mental, and sexual) . I want to help clients see that what happened to them is not okay ,but it does not have to define them. They can live a life free from the trauma and all the shame and guilt that comes with it. I use treatment methods such as CBT(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) it is changing how we think so we change how we feel so we can have better reactions. I also use Narrative Writing, which is basically telling your story on paper. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I am going to listen and I am going to challenge my client's thinking to help them grow and develop new ways of thinking and stop unhealthy patterns. I am going to teach them coping skills and help them see they no longer need me because they are strong enough on their own. I am going to treat everyone with respect and kindness. I am a Christian but I understand and accept not all my clients will be and that is completely fine with me. I pass no judgement because I have never walked their shoes. I do offer a lot of empathy and validation to all my clients so they feel seen and heard. I am here to help provide time and space for my client explore who they are and who they want to be. I work from a strength base model where I find their strengths a make them stronger. I also help them discover their weaknesses so I can help them develop strategies to grow and develop them into more of a strength. It takes a lot of courage to seek help and I want to say BRAVO for reaching out. Change can be frightful but in the end it is so worth it to be free of the burdens.
