Dr. Yan Naung

Mental Health Provider

Medical Doctor

I am a medical doctor and mental health practitioner dedicated to supporting individuals experiencing psychological distress, trauma, anxiety, depression, stress-related difficulties, and psychosocial challenges, particularly in humanitarian and border-life contexts. My clinical approach is calm, ethical, and client-centered, with strong emphasis on creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard, respected, and supported. I provide individual counseling and psychosocial support under the structured supervision of psychologists and psychiatrists, and within evidence-based and trauma-informed frameworks. My therapeutic approach integrates with multiple methods, including trauma-informed counseling, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavior-focused approaches, and psychoeducation. In addition, I also serve as Mental Health Clinician at Primary Mental Health Clinic, providing mental health assessments, psychoeducation, medical treatment, guidance, and early referrals for related mental health concerns. My work reflects strong commitment to ethical care, capacity building, and sustainable mental health care. My professional goal is to support clients in feeling understood, empowered, and psychologically supported, while walking alongside them toward emotional healing, resilience, and improved overall well-being.
