He returned home to Hawaii for his internship and post-doctoral fellowship at I Ola Lahui Behavioral Health, receiving training in rural and primary care psychology with an emphasis on geropsychology in his fellowship year. 

Now a licensed staff psychologist with I Ola Lahui, Lucas develops partnerships with geriatric and elder-care organizations, providing direct mental health services to older adults and training for families and staff caring for elders with dementia.  He offers mindfulness based classes in senior homes and adult day care centers, and provides consultation and educational services to senior groups and elder-care workers.
