Dr Marsha Lucas, PhD - Psychologist

Licensed Psychologist

“All of us need help from time to time. 'Psychotherapy with the brain in mind' is a powerfully effective combination.”

About Me

Navigating life's challenges is easier with the right support. As a Licensed Psychologist, I offer "psychotherapy with the brain in mind," a powerfully effective combination. Sessions explore how your brain processes experiences, helping you understand your unique patterns and responses. This approach is ideal for those seeking clear, evidence-informed strategies to manage their well-being. It provides practical tools, fostering lasting change and resilience for daily life.

Approach

Help often looks like pairing clear, evidence-informed strategies with careful attention to how your body and thoughts signal stress or safety. In sessions in Washington, DC or online in English, we set a steady pace—short, focused skill-building, gentle reflection on patterns, and practical between-session experiments you can try in daily life. I keep the work collaborative and concrete, checking in about what actually changes for you. This way of working tends to suit adults facing anxiety, mood shifts, relationship strain, or burnout.
