About

Hello and welcome! My name is Joyia Lucas. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. As a clinician, I subscribe to the philosophy that our thoughts can contribute to maladaptive behaviors and how we shape our stories can lead to healing.

Education & Licensure

I have my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Geroge Washington University in Washington, DC and my B.A. in Psychology from California State University, Sacramento.

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation for working with autistic adults comes from my desire to be part of a more inclusive world that honors all of our unique strengths, identities, and experiences. Everyone deserves to be respected and honored for their perspectives and offerings to our greater communities. I work with you to understand you and your priorities and how you feel my support would best impact your life.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I follow a client-centered, strength-based approach, capitalizing on the strengths and resources that you already possess.
