I'm Aseya Lukina, a psychologist trained in EMDR offering trauma-focused telehealth therapy to residents across Minnesota. Evidence-based, compassionate, and available from anywhere in the state.
Minnesota has strong mental health infrastructure, yet specialized EMDR therapists are still in short supply outside the Twin Cities metro.
Whether you're in a major city or a rural county, access to quality trauma therapy should never be limited by geography. I offer evidence-based EMDR therapy via secure telehealth to all residents of Minnesota.
Our sessions are HIPAA-compliant, deeply compassionate, and proven effective for anxiety, trauma, depression, and more. You don't need to travel. All you need is a private space and an internet connection.
Most Minnesota therapy resources are concentrated in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, but most of the Minnesotans who find this page aren't there — they're in the lake country, the river towns, the farming communities, places like Detroit Lakes, Owatonna, or Waconia. Out there, an EMDR-trained trauma specialist may be a two-hour drive away, and a weekly in-person commitment just isn't sustainable through a Minnesota winter. Telehealth means the distance stops mattering: you get specialized trauma care from your own living room, whatever county you're in.
There's a particular Minnesota strength that can quietly become a trap: not burdening others. Keeping things pleasant. Handling it. Many Minnesotans carry difficult histories — family losses, hard childhoods, painful marriages — while remaining the reliable one everyone else leans on. By the time they consider therapy, they've usually been managing alone for years, and what they want isn't endless talking — it's something that actually resolves the weight. That's a good match for EMDR: it's structured, it has a beginning and an end, and it works directly with how the nervous system stored those experiences rather than requiring you to relive them out loud week after week.
The long dark season is part of the picture too. Winters here genuinely make everything heavier, and an online session you can attend without leaving the house is far easier to keep than an evening drive on icy roads.
