I’m Sarah Lucas, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Denver, Colorado, and a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Specialist (PMH-C). I specialize in supporting all genders experiencing prenatal and postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and the emotional challenges related to loss, infertility, and fertility treatments. I work with clients who may feel overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thought patterns, or disconnected from themselves during periods of major life transition—especially pregnancy, postpartum, and family-building journeys.
Addressing life difficulties can be overwhelming, stressful and isolating. It takes a lot of courage to overcome your obstacles, but doing it alone may not be enough. I believe that building a strong connection is the most important thing in beginning to help you. It is important that you feel safe, understood and valued. I offer compassion, creative thinking and humor to help clients work towards their goals.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addictions Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience since receiving my social work degree from the University of Chicago. My experience includes working as an individual and group therapist, bereavement coordinator/counselor, medical and hospice social worker, crisis evaluator, and clinical supervisor of a team of therapists.
Sarah is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). She earned her degree from the Graduate School of Social Work at DU with a clinical focus in family systems and a graduate certificate in interpersonal trauma studies.
Sarah is certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Specialist through Postpartum Support International and has completed a fellowship at the Irving Harris Program for Infant Mental Health and Early Childhood Development through University of Colorado's Department of Psychiatry. In addition to her specialty training, Sarah works with a diverse clientele experiencing a variety of issues, including mood disorders, life transitions, relationship concerns and grief/loss issues.
Sarah is trained in Brainspotting and has successfully integrated this modality into her practice for clients experiencing anxiety, bereavement, perinatal/reproductive trauma, OCD, and PTSD, including treatment for first responders and their families. As a spouse of a firefighter, Sarah has unique insight into the demands placed upon emergency responders and their loved ones.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly a decade of experience helping people navigate challenges related to insomnia, anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem, parenting, and ADHD/executive functioning. I offer both therapy and psychological evaluations.
I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Denver (DU) and completed my APA-accredited pre-doctoral internship at the Mental Health Center of Denver (now called WellPower), where I provided crisis support, therapy, and psychological assessments. Since then, I’ve found my passion in private practice, working with clients across the lifespan to support growth, balance, and well-being.
