Lucas (he/they) is an EMDR-trained LMFT who specializes in working with gay, lesbian, bisexual, nonbinary, transgender, and queer individuals and couples who are struggling with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, substance use, and challenges with interpersonal relationships, coming out, gender experiences, major life transitions, and queer and multiracial identity development.
Lucas uses EMDR therapy and client-centered, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral interventions to support people in healing from traumatic events and unresolved grief by helping them reprocess disturbing, burdensome memories so that the memories become less intrusive, distracting, and painful. The conversations and processing that take place in therapy draw on the client’s and therapist’s respective expertises and knowledge to co-create new experiences and narratives that reorganize the client’s thinking, behavior, and resources to better serve the client in their healing, navigation of major life transitions and challenges, personal growth, and progress towards their goals.
Before receiving his M.S. in Mental Health Counseling from University of Massachusetts Boston, Lucas received his B.A.&Sc. in Cognitive Science with concentrations in Neuroscience and Linguistics from McGill University. Lucas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania and California.

Rainbow-Wolf works with individuals on looking at the different aspects of themselves and their lives as pieces of a puzzle to put together.
