Getting to know Gale Lukas

Finding the right therapist can seem like a daunting task, especially when it involves a child. I enjoy helping children develop a positive worldview through understanding the world around them and being able to look at situations from varying perspectives. Working through anxiety, depression, and trauma with individuals and families guides our children to better futures. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy to help improve the quality of life and relationships. I welcome you to join me on this journey in a safe and supportive environment. My approach I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help understand the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and provide the ability to understand differing perspectives. I encourage developing positive coping skills and expressing one's feelings. I may encourage self expression through art journaling and mindfulness techniques. Together we will work to create a path to move forward. My focus I work with children, teens, and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, and self -esteem concerns. I will work to create a plan that provides for growth and development in ways that are achievable and empowering. My communication style In a supportive and open environment, a child can explore thoughts and feelings and recognize where they lead. I provide this environment through activities, conversation, and listening. Patience and calmness provide an opportunity to discuss challenges and work toward goals. My journey to mental healthcare My journey focuses around caring and working to help others. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and went on to get a Master's in Elementary Education. After working with children in school and aftercare settings, I realized that I needed to follow my heart and returned to school and earned a Master's Degree in Counseling. Since graduating I have worked with children and teens as a crisis clinician.
