Hey, I'm Larkin and I'm genuinely glad you're here! The idea that we or our loved ones are struggling and need help can stir up a number of uncomfortable emotions that we often try to ignore. If there is one thing I believe holds true, it is that having feelings makes us human. Feelings help us understand the world, they guide our thoughts and behaviors, they impact our relationships, and when we learn to listen to what they are trying to tell us, they can help us grow. When our lives have been impacted by trauma or adverse experiences, tuning back in to our mind and body can feel daunting and that is where I come in!

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.

Do you get stuck in your thinking? Do you sometimes push people away when really all you want to do is connect with them better? What about your habits- are they helping? Or are they hurting? Don't you think that there might be other ways?

Now accepting BCBS Insurance. You’re on call 24/7, always needed, always giving. While caregiving is your passion and your calling- you're just exhausted. You want and need to be there for the important people in your life. You've dedicated yourself to helping clients, customers, family, friends, or patients in need. But somehow it's simultaneously fulfilling and draining. You need a vacation. But who needs those anyway? You'll be okay... right? Giving is a noble value. It is so important to leave this world better than you found it. But you can't pour from an empty cup.

I think of a therapist as a wise guide who enters into the life of another human at a time of crisis and provides a compassionate, safe environment in which a person can experience himself more fully - explore, identify, and take initiatives to lessen the causes of her distress. The ideal therapist is one who, above all else, is an advocate for the freedom and well-being of another. The therapist, like spiritual guides of old, offers a balance of acceptance and challenge in helping the person become her best self. By challenge, I mean holding an individual accountable to himself and his potential for purposeful, dynamic living.

Hi! I'm so glad you are here. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and individuals who have experienced trauma (sexual abuse, physical abuse, maltreatment and neglect), anxiety, stress, trauma-related struggles, and attachment disturbances. Life can be challenging - especially when you feel stuck and joy seems lost. Experiencing challenging life events does not mean settling for unhappy circumstances. Together, we can work on creating positive meaning out of the most painful parts of your story, so that you can continue to move forward in the healing process and get to the place where you want to be.

Though I have specific training in relationship issues (such as marriage, pre-marriage, same-sex unions, parenting, infidelity, and in-law issues), I also work a great deal with individuals. I offer specific forgiveness training that has proven extremely helpful in healing grievances and resentments; and am trained in the use of EMDR. When motivated, there is no limit to the potential for improved relationships, personal fulfillment, and peace. In work with couples, I see great improvement when there is deep motivation. And it is part of my job to foster, and nurture that motivation in each partner.

Psychoanalytic therapy is an invitation to speak, and to be heard, in the singularity of your suffering and truth. It affords a space for speaking to what has been repeating itself in your life, and what has been difficult or impossible to say thus far. In our contemporary world of standardized diagnoses and generalized treatments, I encounter your uniqueness as a person emerging from a particular conscious and unconscious history, as disclosed in dreams, fantasies, and the telling of your story.

Is your marriage on the brink? Couples arriving at the brink is a necessary stage in every marriage or long-term relationship. That’s right, it’s not IF you get to the Brink, but what you do WHEN you get there.

Life is filled with unpredictability and difficulty. Whether it's loss, anxiety, trauma, or depression, sometimes life can feel overwhelming and hopeless. Therapy can help provide space to heal, grow, and create new beginnings. I strive to create an environment where clients can come and find hope in dark places while being their authentic selves.
