Hello, I'm Lucinda. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and I work with children, teens, adults, older adults, and couples, in person in Edina, on walks outdoors, or by telehealth.
Many of my clients are neurodivergent or living with trauma, and often both. Whether you've already been diagnosed with ADHD or autism or are still wondering, I offer screenings and a sensory-friendly space where you never need to mask.
I also bring lived experience. I have a visible disability and use mobility aids, and my service dog, Wilson, comes to work with me every day. (If you have allergies or a fear of dogs, just let me know.) Many older adults tell me they appreciate working with a therapist who's lived some life too.
I earned my MSW at the University of St. Thomas, completed a psychodynamic fellowship at MPSI, and am certified in Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment. I've been seeing clients since 2020.

I am a military veteran with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, with a specialized focus over the past decade on men’s mental health, including court-ordered assessments and mandated treatment services. My clinical approach is grounded primarily in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I utilize to support clients in developing emotional regulation, coping skills, and sustainable behavioral change. In my current role, I conduct comprehensive mental health screenings, coordinate and oversee integrated care services, and provide direct clinical support within a substance use inpatient treatment setting. Additionally, I dedicate part of my practice to serving a rural Tribal Native American community through a mental health clinic, where I provide culturally responsive and community-informed care.
I also strongly advocate for men navigating systems where they are often disproportionately penalized or misunderstood, working to ensure their mental health needs are appropriately recognized and addressed within legal, correctional, and treatment environments. My professional focus includes supporting fair, trauma-informed approaches that balance accountability with rehabilitation. I have specialized experience working with individuals diagnosed with psychotic disorders and mood disorders, providing psychoeducation to clients and their families—particularly during the early stages of diagnosis—and delivering life skills training to promote stability, independence, and long-term success in community living.
