Let’s find out if we are a good fit.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation for all prospective clients — a no-pressure conversation to meet, discuss what brings you to therapy, and make sure my practice is the right fit for your needs.

— BEFORE YOU REACH OUT

Please confirm the following before contacting me:

  • I am a resident of Oregon
  • I am 18 years of age or older
  • I am able and willing to attend sessions via telehealth (video)
  • I have one of the accepted insurance plans, or I can pay privately

— INSURANCE ACCEPTED

I am currently in-network with the following plans:

Providence Health Plan · Aetna · Blue Cross Blue Shield · UnitedHealthcare · Regence & affiliates · Moda Health · Private pay is also available. (Contact me to discuss rates.)


— HOW TO GET STARTED

New clients: please email me first.

Scheduling is not available online. All new client consultations begin with an email — this allows me to confirm availability, verify eligibility, and make sure we are a good fit before we meet.

01 — Email to request a consultation
Send an email to DL@deniselucaslpc.com. Make sure that you meet the eligibility requirements stated above. Consultations are available on Mondays from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

02 — Receive your confirmation and intake forms
I will respond and send you a Consent Form and a brief intake questionnaire to help us make the most of our time together.

03 — Complete and return the intake forms
Please return the completed forms at least 24 hours before your consultation. Once the forms are completed, I will send you a confirmation for the appointment and a video link. If forms are not received in time, the appointment will need to be rescheduled.

04 — Attend your free 15-minute consultation
This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation — ask questions, share what brings you in, and see how it feels.

05 — Next steps
If we are a good fit, I will walk you through how to get started with care. If not, I will do my best to point you toward the right resources.
