Hi, I am Dr. Lucette,
Life is challenging at times.
Life with a medical condition is extra challenging.
And it can also be meaningful, joyful, and filled with love!
I'm a health psychologist
I’m trained to help you deal with difficult emotions and issues related to your physical health (chronic pain, fatigue, side effects).
Bonus: I’m fairly familiar with medical jargon!
We'll talk about the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable
I'll ask you how you feel, we'll laugh about a comedy you saw on Netflix, and we'll also talk about the things that is still too heavy to discuss with your loved ones.
I’m a human being first
(just like you!) and psychologist second (with great evidenced-based skills to help YOU).
I offer online therapy so that you can get the help you need from the comfort of your own couch.
I want to help you reconnect with the things (and people!) that matter to you
