Luciana Canivare

I'm Luciana Canivare, a psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents in both public and private settings.

After graduating, I completed a four-year Clinical Psychology Residency within the Argentine public healthcare system, where I trained in general hospitals, psychiatric services, primary care, paediatric settings, rehabilitation centres, and community mental health programs. I later completed an advanced residency specialising in Addictions, working with people facing complex psychological, social, and emotional challenges.

Alongside my clinical training, I have continuously studied psychoanalysis, which forms the foundation of my therapeutic approach. Rather than offering predefined solutions or one-size-fits-all techniques, I believe that every person's history, suffering, and way of relating to the world is unique. My work is based on careful, non-judgmental listening, helping each person understand the deeper meaning of their experiences and discover new ways of approaching the difficulties they face.

Throughout my career, I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief, emotional distress, addictions, and the many questions that emerge throughout different stages of life. My experience in public hospitals, community mental health services, and private practice has allowed me to support people with a wide range of needs and backgrounds.

Originally from Argentina with Italian roots, I have lived in Spain, Italy, Australia, and now Germany, where I have chosen Berlin as my home. Living and working across different countries has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges and opportunities that come with migration, cultural adaptation, identity, and belonging. I enjoy working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and believe that these experiences have enriched both my personal perspective and my clinical practice.

I offer therapy in Spanish and Italian, both online and in person in Berlin. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and thoughtful space where you can speak freely, explore your experiences at your own pace.
