Purevsuren (Susan) Basanjav, AMFT

Bilingual Child and Family Therapist

As a bilingual (English/Mongolian) registered Associate Marriage and Family therapist with a multicultural background, I offer dyadic therapy services that are culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and compassionate. As a first-generation immigrant, I know firsthand the impact of immigration and displacement on individuals and families. I understand the complexities of being between and a part of different cultures. The therapeutic process is vulnerable and adaptive, requiring genuineness, gentleness, and respect, especially when dealing with parent-child dynamics. My aim is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to help clients navigate challenges, heal from trauma, and strengthen family bonds. Embracing my multicultural background, I foster empathy and understanding to make a positive impact in the lives of those seeking my services. Ongoing professional development is key to enhancing my skills in this field.
