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.

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.

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.” ― Brené Brown ― I have nearly 20 years of clinical experience counseling teens and adults in a variety of settings including schools, non-profit agencies, the public sector, and the justice system. I can be your ally to undertake relationship issues, workplace challenges, or pressures at school. Navigating the “’real world” can be daunting, especially with the influence of social media. We can find ourselves feeling depressed or in anxiety-provoking situations.

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.

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.

As a neurodiversity affirming psychotherapist and Integrative Health Practitioner, my approach to therapy is holistic in nature. Together we can learn ways to develop a deeper sense of understanding, compassion, and acceptance of yourself. I offer an eclectic approach to this work which is Jungian informed, soulful, heart-centered, and intuitive. My work with clients often includes making room for our grief and acknowledging the ways in which grief is not honored in our culture. This work is sacred to me and I am deeply honored to join my clients on their healing journey.

Does your life seem put together but nervousness is your constant companion? Are you striving to make things perfect in your professional and personal life, even though it makes you feel exhausted and overwhelmed at times? Do you struggle to be present and enjoy the moment? You may be living with high functioning anxiety. While this anxiety can be a powerful motivator, it can often feel like an emotional rollercoaster. It may be impacting your sleep, your relationships and making you feel restless in your life.

Seeking out therapy is a very heroic action in and of itself, perhaps your first proactive step into redefining your sense of self, creating a new life story, and taking a leap into the direction of self-care. If you are reading this, you may be in a state of uncertainty, or perhaps connected more deeply than you would like to be to the effects of depression, anxiety, or your daily life situations. Maybe, you are wrestling in a relationship with someone you love; perhaps, finding the words to communicate who you are and how you feel may seem unattainable and challenging at best.
