Modern Mental Health Care

At Lucera, we offer a holistic approach to mental health tailored to meet women, children, and adolescents' unique needs. Our team of experts provides compassionate, evidence-based care to support your journey towards wellness.

Our Approach

  • Patient/Family Assessment: We begin with a thorough evaluation of each patient and their family dynamics to ensure a comprehensive understanding of their needs.

  • Collaborative Care: We work closely with patients and their families to develop personalized treatment plans, ensuring everyone is aligned and involved in the healing process.

  • Therapeutic, Trauma-Informed Interventions: Our treatments are designed with sensitivity to past traumas, creating a safe and supportive environment for healing.

  • Play-Based Interventions: Especially beneficial for children, we utilize play therapy to help young patients express themselves and work through challenges.

  • Active Living, Supplemental, and Lifestyle Interventions: We emphasize holistic wellness, incorporating physical activity, nutrition, and lifestyle changes into treatment plans.

  • Laboratory Assessment: When necessary, we conduct thorough laboratory tests to inform our treatment strategies and monitor progress.

  • Medication Review, Initiation, Adjustment, and Management: Our psychiatric team provides expert medication management, carefully reviewing and adjusting treatments as needed.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Trauma, Anxiety, and PTSD: Helping patients process traumatic experiences and manage anxiety symptoms.

  • Depression and Bipolar Disorder: Providing support and treatment for mood disorders across the spectrum.

  • Disordered Eating: Addressing the complex physical and emotional aspects of eating disorders

  • Inattention and ADHD: Offering strategies and treatments to improve focus and manage ADHD symptoms.

  • PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder): Specializing in the treatment of severe premenstrual symptoms affecting mood and functioning.

  • Pre/Post-Natal Mood Disorders: Supporting women through the emotional challenges of pregnancy and early motherhood.

  • OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder): Providing effective treatments to manage obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

  • Women’s Mental Health: Addressing the unique mental health needs of women across all life stages.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): EMDR is a therapeutic treatment designed to help individuals process negative or traumatic experiences.  It utilizes bilateral stimulation, neuroplasticity, and memory reconsolidation. This process aims to reduce the emotional impact and charge of the experiences, helping clients integrate more adaptively. EMDR is supported by extensive research and is recognized as an effective treatment for trauma-related disorders.

  • Child and Adolescent Mental Health: Offering specialized care for the mental health challenges faced by younger patients.

  • Brain Spotting: Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process trauma and emotional distress. The process relies on eye positioning and reflexes, dual attunement, and somatic awareness to reduce distress and integrate negative experiences more effectively. Brainspotting is grounded in neurobiological principles, focusing on the brain's natural ability to heal itself when guided appropriately. Brainspotting has been used for various issues, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and is often praised for its gentler approach compared to more traditional therapies.
