Hi! I am Kayle Lucas. I believe that counseling is a sacred space and opportunity for you to be heard and respected. I am grounded in the belief that people can be motivated towards achieving positive psychological functioning, and this is essential to every therapeutic relationship and provides the basis for change to occur. I believe you are an expert of your experience, your wants, and your needs. I do not believe there is one single approach or theory that works for everyone in every situation. I have a diverse understanding of theories and I incorporate a variety of therapeutic principles to create the best treatment for you.

Integrating creativity into healing is my passion. My goal as a therapist is to cultivate a safe space where you feel comfortable bringing your own passions and interests into the session. In therapy, I'll help you to heal from your hurts and meet your goals holistically. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and their families to process issues related to trauma, attachment, self-harm/suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, anger management, divorce, grief, identity development, and life transitions.

Is your child struggling with tantrums, defiance, poor school performance, aggression and/or trouble getting along with peers?

I work with folks who are feeling lost. Lots of things can make us feel this way: Excessive stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-judgement, trauma responses, suicidal thoughts... The list could go on. What these experiences have in common is they get in the way of us being the version of ourselves that we want to be. Another thing they have in common? They don't have to stay in our way.

Why try therapy? Because you deserve it. You deserve to be listened to, to be understood and not told to "just snap out of it". You deserve to take care of yourself, to feel good about yourself and to believe that you matter. You deserve to learn ways to manage and deal with depression, anxiety, the past, addictive behaviors, negative self-talk, feelings of worthlessness, and/or overwhelming life issues so that they do not dominate and control your life.

Do you feel lost and as though you have no one to turn to? Are your fears of being judged and misunderstood preventing you from reaching out for help? Do you struggle to open up to people and feel as though you have to hide your true self out of fear of being misunderstood or misjudged? Do you feel as though you struggle with negative thoughts about yourself and others that hold you back from building relationships? Taking the first step in acknowledging that you need support along your healing journey can be difficult and scary.

Having to face the daily challenges and exhaustion of life can wear a person out. Dealing with constant worry and struggles can feel like an uphill battle. You often wonder if you will ever overcome the past. You feel like no one understands what you've been through. You wish someone would not just hear you but actually stop to listen without questioning your experience or your mood. You’re tired of feeling isolated and alone while struggling with guilt, shame, and anger. You’re tired of having nightmares, sleepless nights, and intrusive thoughts which replay over and over in your mind. All you want is the pain to stop.

Does life sometimes feel overwhelming and stressful? Have you noticed when just one thing in life is out of balance it can spill over into other areas too? This imbalance affects our moods and behaviors, our relationships and interactions with others personally and professionally. This does not just affect adults, it's affecting our youth and our children. The good thing is there is hope and resolution you already have access to, but perhaps haven't been able to tap into.. just yet.

I believe that counseling should be tailored to the individual so I strive to create a unique, safe environment for every person who comes in for help. I work with my clients to help them overcome the issues that are keeping them from moving forward in their life.

In my time both in education and in practice, Counseling has always been about doing what is best for the client in every aspect. Our job as professionals has been to help our clients become educated in their issues, learn how to identify the root of the problems, and learn to cope with these issues. I have had the luck not only to learn about counseling theories and techniques to equip me for any and all challenges. I can help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, substance use, and those suffering from more advance mental Illness such as schizotypical, bipolar etc.
