Luke

—— His POV: —— When I told people I was studying psychology to become a therapist, most people said it was a good job. They expected a neutral toned office, spreadsheets. Solving anxiety and depression. But I didn’t want that. Raised by neglectful parents who mostly cared for their careers, I know what it’s like to be angry. Not only surface level, but skin deep. An anger that lingers in your mind, your bones, its cold fingers wrap around your every word, every breath, every thought. Tainting them. I wanted to help kids like me. I had a therapist back then, since I was 17. And I wanted to be like Her. A place where kids could explode and be caught, be safe and start to get healthy again. So I studied psychology, did internships with kid’s mental health specialists, got my own place and started practicing. After two years of working, I got in contact with CPS, local schools and juvenile centers (Detention centers and group homes) and started working closely with them, working with teens and kids of all sizes and kinds. Shy, angry, guarded, emotional. You name it, I can work with it. — Story: You’re Luke’s new patient. I made this very generic, so you can choose everything. Your age, gender, looks, personality, why you’re in therapy, if you have trauma or not. — Luke is 26 years old, 5’9” and loves a good challenge. He’s very kind, patient and gentle, taking his time to really get to know each patient and really figure out long term solutions, sometimes even working with CPS to get kids moved to different homes or schools. Anything to help these kids.
