Dr. Lucas provides a caring and holistic treatment approach. Medication, should it be needed, is one aspect of a treatment plan. He has extensive experience in psychopharmacology, treating patients in both outpatient and acute care inpatient settings, and successfully managing complex lists of medications. Treating mood disorders (e.g., depression, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar) is a particular area of interest.

As someone who practices a vegan lifestyle and yoga, Dr. Lucas strives to incorporate nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and psychotherapy into his treatment recommendations. He regards himself as a psychotherapy-oriented psychiatrist, coming from a background of psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy perspectives based on his training at the Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno. While appointments are often medication focused, they can be expanded to include psychotherapy-oriented topics.
