Hi, I’m Avery Lucas, LMFT. I’m a therapist at The Hope Connection in Portland and Newberg, working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I’m passionate about creating a calm, compassionate space where clients feel safe to share their story and explore what’s weighing on them. I support people through anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions, and I also have experience helping with child and adolescent issues and men’s concerns. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you, drawing from evidence‑based practices like CBT, family systems, play therapy, emotionally focused work, and narrative approaches. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your family, I’m here to help you feel heard, understood, and more confident moving forward.
