Safe Haven Healers that can help you with Self-compassion

As a young black male growing up in Jamaica, Queens, there were not many safe havens. It wasn’t until 2015 where Ian Lucas discovered he had a calling to be a clinical social worker as well as in ministry with inner city communities. Ian's experiences range from Foster Care, ACS, Life Coaching, missionary work outside the country, youth ministry to pastoring in NYC. Ian's overall passion has been to break the stigma of counseling and other spaces of healing that has kept people of color from getting the help that they need. Ian longs to see generations of people who are empowered to break the narrative society has written for them and reclaim the power to write their own story, reaching their God-given potential.

BOTTOM LINE UPFRONT…I have all the degrees, certifications, licenses that everyone has and probably more. What really matters is my journey and my ability to help you with yours. I have struggled with depression, anxiety and unresolved trauma. I had moments I didn’t recognize myself. I felt lost and alone. After several years of being in this place, I realized I was doing a poor job of hiding my emotions, life and circumstances from my children. I was teaching them how to be depressed and how not to engage with life. I did not want this version of me to be my legacy. So I sought help. I took action and did the work. Along the way, I finally acknowledged the source of my pain wasn’t only PTSD. It was low self-esteem, unhealthy beliefs and the stories I told myself as a kid. It was the traumas I witnessed and experienced. It was the unfair expectations of masculinity. And the everyday stress of being a melanated man in America. Everything I experienced, the negative thinking, self-destructive behaviors, sexual abuse, unhealthy self-esteem, lack of clarity, being afraid and being paralyzed, all prepared me for purpose and led me to my passion for helping others stop the emotional pain and dysfunctional behaviors created from unresolved issues. My life is an example of how it's possible to overcome the obstacles and barriers that have kept so many bound and imprisoned. I operate from vulnerability and authenticity. I deal with the hard stuff: depression, trauma, suicide, addiction, being stuck and without direction. My superpower is I’m not afraid to walk you through the shadows and the valleys. In fact, I encourage it because it’s necessary to get to the better side. But only with someone experienced like me. How much better would life feel if you had more money, real-solid relationships, you stopped self-sabotaging, you actually showed up & gave the haters a bigger purpose? And how amazing would it be if you were able to have clarity, purpose, and peace? It’s possible. I have witnessed the transformation of hundreds of people. I know it’s possible for you too! For over a decade, I have helped people overcome unresolved issues, create boundaries and have a mindset reset so they can achieve the best possible today. Families and relationships have been restored, addictions and strongholds have been broken. My clients have stopped the cycles of depression, anxiety, self-sabotaging behaviors, and generational curses have been broken. As a result of my clients efforts, they have stopped limiting beliefs and negative thinking. They were able to build confidence, clarity and self-esteem to go after and achive their dreams, have meaningful and fruitful relationships, to have peace and make a lot more money. I offer my optimism about your future and my ability to help you achieve your goals. My approach to helping is direct and goal oriented. We are going to meet, address the issues and implement skills so you can begin mastering the art of living.
