An award-winning author, therapist, and custody evaluator, Lucas Cantu holds a child and family centered practice in 3 locations. 

​

His dedicated skills stem from a diverse education and background in psychology, art and scientific research, as well as holding specialized contracts with Child Protective Services, hospitals, county courts, and agencies serving foster care and indigent populations. 

​

Hospitals - medical and psychiatric alike - were where he gained  experience while obtaining his degrees. Before he graduated, Lucas was already working directly with kids and adults suffering from trauma. 

​

After graduating, Lucas went on to work at The Child and Family Guidance Center in Dallas where he quickly rose into management. From there, he maintained caseloads at Adapt of Dallas until his private practice took flight.

Now, Lucas serves as a court appointed therapist, custody evaluator and parent facilitator. Since 2014, he has done forensic and therapeutic work for child and family cases, keeping strong ties in central and east Texas.
