My therapy style is centered on meeting clients where they are and supporting them as they navigate their current challenges. I use a holistic mind-body connection within a person-centered framework. I also take a direct approach, gently confronting unhealthy patterns to help clients understand the roles they have played in their own lives. This process empowers clients to recognize their ability to change and fosters personal growth and healing. I firmly belief that everyone is capable of change when ready and I am honored to be part of the process.

I believe change flows easiest from self-acceptance, nurtured through the telling, listening, and embodied expressions of our lives. My approach is warm, inviting, direct, and attuned. I meet clients with interest, non-judgment, and respect. I am driven by the belief that individual and community care are interwoven, and that healing is a process of mourning and meaning-making. In a safe, authentic therapeutic relationship, I support clients in releasing past pains, developing presence, and trusting their inner knowing. This process is both personal and collaborative.

Life gets complicated. Sometimes it helps to work with a trained professional to help put things in perspective. Struggle is part of life, but it doesn’t have to define us. It has been my great joy to help clients work towards a place of empowerment and fulfillment in their lives. You may currently be feeling jaded and dejected about the current state of the world. Perhaps you even feel isolated and scared. Therapy can help you figure out what direction to take even when you’re uncertain about the rest of the world.

I am Chloe Lucas, LMFT. I've been a therapist for just under 10 years now. My personality has been described as direct, curious, and grounding. My practice focuses on trauma work, teens, adult individuals, and parenting. My training is rooted in spirituality as an important part of the whole self. I see therapy as an important tool for existential growth. Our culture doesn't make enough space for emotional expression and introspection. Therapy is a unique relationship that allows for the practice of emotional intimacy such that we may become more attune and connected to ourselves and others.

Welcome to my practice. I have over 30 years of experience providing therapy to individuals and couples from very diverse backgrounds with regards to ethnicity, religion, age, country of origin, and sexual orientation. The therapy I do tends to be short-term, "here-and-now" focused, goal oriented, and skills based. I believe my clients want to change their behaviors, and not just "talk" about what's going wrong. My therapeutic style is collaborative, non-judgmental, warm and compassionate. I'm not a "one size fits all" therapist because every client is unique. I offer a Good Faith Estimate at the client's request.
