Austin Lucas

I have over 10 years of experience treating substance use disorders across inpatient, outpatient, and justice‑involved settings. As a member of the recovery community, I bring both professional and lived insight to my work. I’ve spoken nationally on addiction and supported clients in treatment courts in Michigan and Wisconsin, helping individuals build stability, accountability, and lasting change.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over five years of focused experience supporting individuals impacted by trauma, including those from military service, law enforcement, and sudden or traumatic loss. My work centers on helping clients process overwhelming experiences, rebuild a sense of safety, and move forward with resilience and clarity.

I have over 10 years of experience treating depression in high‑acuity behavioral health settings, including crisis and stabilization. My work has involved supporting individuals who feel stuck and overwhelmed, using evidence‑based approaches to help them regain clarity, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts, understand how these patterns shape emotions and behavior, and build practical skills for change. CBT offers clear, structured tools that support insight, emotional regulation, and healthier coping. Together, we work to break cycles that keep you stuck and create new, more effective ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients build psychological flexibility by developing mindfulness, clarifying values, and taking meaningful action. I use ACT to support clients in reducing struggle with difficult thoughts and emotions while strengthening resilience and purpose. This approach helps you move toward a life that feels aligned, intentional, and grounded in what matters most to you.
