Dr. Susanna Luu, PhD

Psychologist
IA
Hi, my name is Susanna Luu, PhD. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Loma Linda University. I'm a clinical psychologist specializing in a holistic approach to treating mental health concerns through a cognitive behavioral therapy lens. I am currently licensed in Iowa. My approach I was originally trained in developmental psychology and take great care in understanding one's childhood. I believe the first relationships we develop become the framework on which we base our future relationships and how we view ourselves. I model a healthy, caring relationship to build trust and foster change. Additionally, I am very behavior-oriented and help clients process their emotions to make lasting changes in their lives through CBT, DBT, or CPT. My focus Since I am developmentally trained and have been active duty, I am very results-driven and make it a standard to guide clients to their goals at their pace. I have had a wide range of experience with patients from children to adults and know how to deliver information that is age-appropriate. That means I do expect clients to follow through on homework. Don't worry-I always give fun and achievable homework. I have also had the unique experience of working with high-performing military and can help with performance enhancement goals. Although I do have experience with severe mental illness, I prefer clients who are more stable and do not have acute risk factors. My communication style My communication style is down to earth and genuine. I will not mask my unique ?real? qualities and try to bring in humor as much as I can. This models an example of healthy communication. Further, I am always client-centered. Although I love to see clients grow, I will always ask if they are ready to explore the next steps of processing and meet them where they are. My journey to mental healthcare From a young age, I was fascinated by the power of human connection and the resilience of the human spirit.
