Dr. Lucas combines the virtues of a scholar and well traveled human being. He is a strong individual whose manner is soft spoken and gentle. His insight into the the human psyche is deep and forgiving. His understanding of human motivation and the workings of psychological defense mechanisms is profound. His insightful interventions are cryptic and make you ponder their meaning, causing you to do the work of understanding your unconscious fixations. His patience and tolerance and his use of humor help you to develop a sense of trust that is necessary for true psychological change to occur. I have had the privilege of having had eleven years of individual and group therapy. Written by David Lewin Ph.D.
