About Lucas (He/Him)

Hello, I'm Lucas, and welcome to ImpactWorks! I am a licensed therapist, educator, and founder of ImpactWorks, a consulting firm rooted in equity, empathy, and real-world change. As a queer, trans, neurodivergent professional with over a decade of experience in mental health, DEIB strategy, crisis intervention, and LGBTQ+ advocacy, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to the work of transforming systems.

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in deep community care. I draw from peer-reviewed research and evidence-based frameworks to ensure that every training and consultation is both impactful and grounded in empirical evidence, along with the inclusion of anecdotal qualitative data. I’ve trained thousands across sectors—including education, healthcare, nonprofits, and government—on how to build safer, more culturally responsive environments. From co-designing a national LGBTQ+ and Disability three-part training series to developing responsive crisis protocols, my work bridges insight and impact.

Whether I’m supporting leadership teams, working with students, facilitating brave conversations, or consulting on policy and program development, my mission is to help people feel seen, empower professionals and consumers, and move equity from theory to tangible practice.
