About Casa Lucida
Dr. Nydia Conrad is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping couples and individuals create real, lasting change, not just insight.
She founded Casa Lucida after recognizing what traditional therapy cannot provide: the focused, uniterrupted time and immersive environment that true transformation requires. Her 2 day intensives in Costa Rica are designed for couples in crisis, navigating infidelity, betrayal, emotional shutdown, and chronic conflict, and for individuals ready to make significant changes in their lives.
Her approach draws from trauma informed care, The Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and experiential techniques. The goal is not just understanding, it is real behavioral change that lasts.
Dr. Conrad's work has been featured on ABC News, Fox 13 Tampa, News Channel 8, Wink News, Mira TV, The Mike Calta Show, and The Mike O Radio Show.
Telehealth therapy sessions available to Florida residents. Wellness and couples coaching available nationwide via video.
