ABOUT
Hi, my name is Misti Luke
As an Oklahoma-based, master's level, fully-licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I am here to provide you with the support you need during difficult times. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other mental health concern, I am ready to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Contact me today to schedule a session.
My journey in the helping profession began with a personal loss in 2003. This event prompted my return to college, where I earned a psychology degree from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in 2004.
Following graduation, I worked as a Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Specialist, focusing on teaching social and anger management skills. I then pursued further education, obtaining a master's degree in social work from Texas A&M University-Commerce in 2007.
After completing extensive post-graduate clinical supervision (3,000 hours) and passing my LCSW, I became a licensed psychotherapist in Oklahoma. Since then, I've had the privilege of providing mental health and substance abuse treatment across various settings.
In 2015, I established Misti Luke, LCSW Private Practice to offer a unique and judgment-free space for Oklahomans seeking behavioral health services.
