Jeffrey Lucero is the Founder and CEO of Thoughtful Psychiatry in Boston, which focuses on thoughtful psychiatric prescribing and teaching the graduate student and new clinicians. He founded Thoughtful Psychiatry to address concerns about the training of Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). Many PMHNPs receive little formal training in psychotherapy during their graduate programs and often find themselves in roles that emphasize prescribing medications. In contrast, Jeffrey developed internship and postgraduate training programs for PMHNPs that teach therapeutic communication and how to incorporate psychotherapy into all patient appointments. He has instructed various courses on Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Psychotherapy technique, and Good Psychiatric Management (GPM).
He has extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, including completion of four psychodynamic fellowships, and a three-year advanced training program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. He has also had extensive training in experiential therapies (ISTDP, AEDP) and evidenced based psychotherapies for the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD). He is a trainer of GPM, and also a practitioner of Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) and Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP). GPM is a generalist model that provides the fundamental skills to treat BPD. As a GPM trainer he frequently lectures on the psychopharmacological implications in the treatment of BPD.
