Hello, my name is Luke. I am a 38-year-old father and husband who has been counseling since 2013. I was in the military from 2003-2010 and previously worked at a veterans hospital. Along with my counseling education and experience with various individuals, I have a Master's Degree in Theological Studies. Studying theology helps me incorporate these beliefs into sessions. I have experience in substance abuse disorders, including pornography addiction and eating disorders. I have experience with depression management, anxiety, mindfulness techniques, practical coping skills, and providing a listening ear. My areas of employment include substance abuse and mental health in treatment centers, private practice, and contract work. I have a TEDxLincoln talk titled Avoiding the Quick Fix from my experience as a nutritional counselor and have a few published pieces in those areas as well. Though I am formally trained in MI, MET, DBT, CBT, ACT, EMDR, and many other acronyms, my approach is to be constantly curious about your life. I like to ask difficult questions getting you to reflect on your thinking. I like to address behaviors both of us notice that interfere with what you want in life. You are the expert in your life. Therapy is not a teaching moment where I am right, and you listen, but rather something we explore together. Overall, therapy is a relationship. You should feel comfortable sharing whatever is on your mind with your therapist. Please, choose someone you connect with rather quickly. I look forward to meeting with you and viewing old, stagnant beliefs in your life differently.

The great poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran once wrote, “out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” Some of the scars Kahlil refers to are visible, while still, others are under the surface. These scars teach us, build resiliency, and make us more compassionate about the struggles and scars of others. As a human who has suffered and as a therapist who has tirelessly fought to reclaim lives brought asunder by suffering, I want to take a journey with my clients to find what was lost, rebuild what has been ravaged, and find a path of strength and compassion to walk with my clients. Within the confines of a calm, caring, and nonjudgmental framework, kindness, compassion, and supportive plans become the goals for our experience in growing our therapeutic alliance. You can begin to develop ways to meet the challenges you have identified in your life. With my assistance, we can work together to identify positive outcomes for many issues that have perplexed you, put barriers in your way, and impede progress while also identifying how to incorporate your many strengths, rich history, and the lessons learned from trauma and joyful events alike. We will learn from each other on this path. With age comes wisdom, and with my years of life experiences, 13 years invested in honing my therapeutic chops, and the education that was garnered later in life than most, it provides me with the tools necessary to assist others in finding their way through the complexities that life has dealt them. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma, addiction, abandonment issues, or just the fallout from the many events, choices, and tragedies that have brought you to seek help, we can find a way to a better, more peaceful state of being. Lao Tzu said, “The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.” Let the journey begin.

I believe the most beautiful thing is our ability to be vulnerable... it's what makes us human. I have found that when you slow down and check in with yourself, you may come across the most amazing person...YOU! Many of us are disconnected from ourselves and it's evident across various life domains. Learning to identify your needs and get them met is your responsibility. Exploring various parts of ourselves increases chances that we will have a more meaningful existence. Much of the work I am blessed to do with clients, is providing them with a safe space to land mentally and emotionally. Understanding the complexities we face in black and brown communities makes this interpersonal work meaningful. Therapy is not taboo and asking for help does not equate to weakness, rather strength and courage. As we become healed, whole and well, we contribute positively to our family, friends and our community. I find meaning in helping others identify their needs and use words not behaviors to get them met... we are deserving of this. I want each person I am called to work with to know they deserve to be authentically seen and validated and we don't need anything outside of ourselves to be whole. Once we are healed from past hurts, we can become whole (lacking nothing) and then practice wellness to stay grounded. Be well. XoXo Dr. Edison
