"FIND CLARITY AND PURPOSE IN LIFE."

Hi, I'am Violeta Lucas. I was born and raised in Bulgaria. Later in life, I moved to the United Kingdom, where I studied and worked. While in England, I met my husband, who was stationed there with the United States Air Force. After he completed his tour, we received orders for the United States, where we currently live.

Living in several different countries has not been an easy path for me. I had to adapt to new cultures and norms, learn a new language, and face some cultural prejudice as a minority. At the same time, I am also aware of my privileges. I am a healthy, non-disabled white European, hold degrees from esteemed educational institutions, and am part of the military community.

My cosmopolitan experience makes it easy for me to understand the negative thoughts and feelings of people living and working in a foreign country, such as issues with integration, identity, and cultural and language barriers.

Everyone's experiences are unique, and as a therapist, it is important to acknowledge and celebrate them while encouraging self-expression and authenticity. 

In my spare time, I enjoy woodworking, traveling, spending time with my husband and two dogies, and catching up with family and friends.
