Are you letting your emotions rule your life? Do you make decisions based on how you feel rather than what is best for you? If you answered YES then Cognitive Therapy can help you change your thinking and create the life you are seeking. Whether you are struggling with depression, panic attacks or going through life transitions, I can help you learn necessary skills to make your life a journey rather than a struggle. I feel priviledged having the opportunity to work with individuals, teach them CBT and see them transform right in front of me.

Depression. Anxiety. Relationship and career problems. These very real difficulties of living represent potent opportunities for growth and transformation. In reality, this is not always easy to see. A key step is developing insight, combined with a willingness to accept increasing levels of personal responsibility. As a therapist and coach, my orientation is holistic. I incorporate a whole-person approach that emphasizes physical, mental, emotional, and interpersonal factors. I view human experience as an inherently creative process, and work to empower clients to harness their innate potential to create meaningful and fulfilling lives through committed action based on personal values.

I've learned that therapy works best when we can be two real people having an open, ongoing conversation in the room together. I specialize in treating adults, teens and couples struggling with anxiety, stress management, relationships/dating issues, depressive symptoms or simply seeking change. My approach is authentic, safe, supportive, non-judgmental, and I absolutely love the work I do. I will actively work with you toward quick relief of symptoms while we address the long-standing limiting beliefs that have been obstacles to your emotional wellness. Other areas of focus: LGBT, past trauma, self-esteem issues, creative/performing artists, college/grad students, executives.

Anxiety symptoms are awful- racing heart, restless, short of breath, dizzy, headache, stomach issues, tearful, exhausted, insomnia, panic. Trips to the ER thinking there is something really wrong with you. Thoughts of dread, doom, worry. Am I going insane? Feeling like you are out of your body, disconnected. Sweating, shaking, can't concentrate, forget things, recurrent thoughts. Irritable, nervous, angry, sad, hopeless. Why is this happening to you? The uneasiness magnifies. You start to avoid places, activities, fearing it will trigger the sensations. The suffering at times feels unbearable.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

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 experience as a therapist has taken me to diverse settings and introduced me to many different people, from small children to older adults. Along the way, I have learned that no one approach to therapy will work for everyone. Instead, I strive to establish a strong relationship with my clients by meeting them where they are. Together, we explore the unique challenges that brought them to therapy. Together, we zero in on desired therapeutic goals and lay out a fresh path toward positive change.
