While at SDSU Mr. Lucas was trained in a family systems approach. This approach focuses on  the relational interactions between people in the  family. Mixed with his Cognitive-Behavioral approach, John is the type  of therapist who will give you quick direction and effective tools to improve your life.    

Individuals--At Lighthouse Counseling Services you can find a listening ear for all  your problems. Whether your problems happen to be at home or work, John will offer encouragement and insight. Issues of stress, anxiety, panic, depression, and anger are all areas countless individuals have found  relief.  

Couples--John has a long history of  helping couples improve their relationships. John will offer tools to help increase intimacy and reduce conflict. Couple's counseling is one of John's specialties. 

Families--At  Lighthouse Counseling there is a wealth of training to help families,  whether it is with individuals, couples or parenting issues.

(Please arrange for childcare ahead of time as toddlers and babies can be a distraction to therapy).
