Luvena Susanto

Hello! I'm Luvena. I am a Clinical Psychologist in Melbourne. I love working with adults who feel depressed, anxious, have recurring relationship problems, and want to understand their emotional experiences more deeply. Trauma is also an area that I am interested in, especially how it shows up in relationships. I believe that therapy can offer a meaningful opportunity to better understand yourself, your relationships, and the emotional experiences that may be keeping you stuck. More specifically, we may be a good fit if you: - Struggle with feeling low and burnt out - Find it hard to deal with anxiety despite having tried several strategies - Experience recurring relationship difficulties and want to know why - Struggle with anger - Feel disconnected from your emotions and want to understand why you react the way you do - Have experienced trauma and want to learn how to deal with it - Looking for not only practical strategies but deeper emotional insight. While structured sessions that focus on practical strategies and techniques can sometimes be helpful, my approach is more relational and insight-oriented. Sessions tend to feel conversational and reflective, with space to slow down and explore what is happening beneath the surface. Rather than positioning myself as the “expert” on your life, I see therapy as a collaborative process, where two people are working together to understand your difficulties, your experiences, and the ways you hope to grow and change.
