Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist, and has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior relationship for nearly twenty years. Prior to entering private practice, she was a neuropsychologist on the faculty at the Emory University School of Medicine.

Her book, Rewire Your Brain For Love: Cultivation Vibrant Relationships Using the Science of Mindfulness, helps the reader understand how his or her brain's wiring for relationships can be transformed, actually changing the connections and pathways in the brain, by using the simple practice of mindfulness.

She has a special interest in the practice of mindfulness, especially in how it stimulates the brain to grow new, more integrated circuits ~ which may be at the heart of well-being, including emotional balance and resilience, enhanced relationships and friendships, and greater empathy and connectedness.

Dr. Lucas currently practices in Washington, DC.
