Yadamjav CHUNAG - BALSON

My journey into psychology didn't start in a lecture hall; it began in the bustling children's wards of Mongolia. As a young physician, I fell in love with medical science and the resilience of the young patients I treated.

 

Yet, working on the frontlines of clinical medicine, I quickly realized that the deepest wounds aren't always visible on an X-ray.​Driven by a desire to understand health on a grander scale, I moved to the United States to earn a Master of Public Health.

 

It taught me to see health through a systemic lens, but life soon threw me into a profound systemic transition of my own: moving to France.​Arriving in a new country meant starting completely from scratch. I had to learn a complex new language from zero while simultaneously navigating the demanding world of French psychological studies.

 

This intense adaptation process wasn't just a personal challenge; it was a masterclass in human resilience. It reshaped how I view trauma, survival, and identity.​

 

Today, as a clinical psychologist specializing in developmental psychology and psychotraumatology, I dedicate my practice to the 'trauma world.' I walk alongside children and adults who have survived the heaviest of experiences, including sexual abuse.

 

Because my own path has been cross-disciplinary and international, I don't just bring clinical theories to our sessions—I bring a global perspective, deep cultural empathy, and firsthand knowledge of what it means to rebuild your life from the ground up.
