Dr. Peter Lucas, MD

Psychiatrist
WA
"Hi, I’m Dr. Lucas, a psychiatrist working with adolescents, adults, and older adults across a broad range of mental health conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, psychosis, substance use disorders, and cognitive impairments. I take a thoughtful, individualized approach to care, supporting clients not only in managing distressing symptoms but also in navigating the broader life challenges that affect their overall well-being. My goal is to help you build a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. While I bring deep experience in psychiatric medication management, I also integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques into my practice. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and lifestyle coaching. My approach is flexible and person-centered, treatment is always tailored to the individual, not just the diagnosis. I believe in working collaboratively to find the right combination of strategies to support your goals and long-term wellness. I completed my undergraduate and master’s degrees at Northwestern University, earned my medical degree from Case Western Reserve University, and completed my psychiatric residency at the University of California, San Diego. I then pursued a research fellowship at the National Institute of Mental Health. Over the years, I’ve served as a teacher, researcher, administrator, and clinician but the work I value most is the connection I build with my patients. If you’re seeking a comprehensive and compassionate approach to mental health care, I’d be glad to connect and see how we can work together!"
