I’m Luke Tervola, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with over 15 years of professional work experience in the mental health field. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, difficult life changes, grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have experience in using therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) techniques and resources. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. In my free time I enjoy hiking, vegetable gardening, concerts, and cheering on the Vikings, Twins, and Wild.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
