About Dr. Lackey

Welcome.  For many years, I’ve studied psychology and human behavior. And for more than 10 years, I’ve helped people from all walks of life manage psychological problems like depression and anxiety.

Currently, I incorporate my experience as a psychologist and Arts enthusiast to collaborate with artists.  They aspire to create work that challenges people to think about themselves and life in new ways. I especially enjoy working with artists to develop unique stories and characters.

Need help developing a character? Check out my book, The Psychology & Art of Character Development – now in its third edition.   Although most illustrative examples focus on film, this book can also be a resource for professionals in the fields of television, creative writing, drama, and dance. If you want more personalized help, contact me for script analysis and additional services.
