Lucita is passionate about supporting therapists as they transition into private practice. She enjoys helping clinicians build strong foundations-from developing clear policies and systems to supporting the growth of professional identity and confidence as practice owners. With nearly two decades of experience in both public and private mental health settings, she brings a deep understanding of the realities of clinical work across systems. In 2021, she co-founded the thriving private practice Connections in Counseling, where she continues to build a model of care and work that is sustainable, equitable, and aligned with her values. Her goal is to help other clinicians create that same sense of balance in their own practices.
