Dr. Lukasz Urban
Supervising Psychologist
My passion in life is helping people heal from trauma and suffering through warm, authentic, and professional care. I have discovered a natural talent for working with young people and have gravitated towards theories that integrate developmental and parenting principles into clinical practice. Social justice, human rights, and altruism are principles that define the foundation of my clinical perspective. I have had transformative opportunities to work with a variety of marginalized populations including homeless people, children with Autism, at-risk youth, veterans, and incarcerated men. I hope that my clinical work will have a significant and lasting positive impact on the social systems created to empower the disenfranchised. My clinical interest is in theory of personality and psychodiagnostic assessment of personality particularly related to ADHD, Autism, and behavioral/emotional disorders in children and adolescents. My experience working with incarcerated men in state prisons and community transitional settings ultimately led my treatment focus to center on misbehavior (opposition/defiance, externalizing) and disordered personality (antisocial personality disorder).
