Getting to know Mary Lucas
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build stronger relationships. With a focus on mental wellness, I work collaboratively with clients to address issues like communication, conflict resolution, and emotional well-being. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns and work towards positive change.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their experiences, as emphasized in Client-Centered Therapy. I believe in empowering clients to lead their healing journey while offering unconditional positive regard and active listening to support their self-discovery and growth. I also incorporate principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop psychological flexibility. ACT encourages clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment while focusing on meaningful life changes. Additionally, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to address unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
My focus
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and providing culturally sensitive care to BIPOC clients. My practice is grounded in the belief that faith can be a powerful resource for healing and growth. I create a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges through both a psychological and spiritual lens. While I respect and welcome clients of all beliefs, I'm comfortable incorporating prayer, scripture, and faith-based coping strategies for those who desire it. My goal is to help clients find hope, meaning, and resilience through a holistic approach that nurtures both mental health and spiritual well-being.
