Psychological diagnostics

Chloé Doyen is currently working as a psychologist in the Albatros Beratungszentrum project in Brandenburg. Her professional journey began with a degree in psychomotricity in Paris, which shaped her therapeutic approach by emphasizing the connection between body and mind in individual development. The profession of psychomotrician does not exist in all countries, but it involves assessing and treating the relationship between movement, cognition, affect, and behavior in people at different stages of development. To achieve this, psychomotricians use a combination of physical exercises, relaxation techniques, sensory stimulation, and other mediation methods. She later decided to pursue a degree in clinical psychology to deepen her understanding. This combination allowed her to first work in France as a psychomotricity therapist with children, adolescents, and their families. She later became a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, supporting adults struggling with addiction issues as well as adolescents and their social environment. After moving to Berlin and before joining Albatros, she worked in a private practice as a psychologist, providing clinical support to French-speaking adults. Each of these experiences has shaped her in different ways. Chloé Doyen firmly believes in the quote: "The humanity of tomorrow is built on the hospitality of today." Following this belief, she places great importance on listening to individuals in their uniqueness and respecting their cultural background in her work.

Mrs. Alena Prib-Talpyha was born in Belarus. She completed a degree in German studies there and worked as a translator and interpreter for a charity organisation. She came to Germany in 2011 and graduated with a degree in Psychology. Mrs. Prib-Talpyha worked for 2 years in an educational project for young refugees and in January 2020 she took up a position at Albatros gGmbH as a native speaker psychosocial counsellor and project coordinator. Since September 2023, she has been carrying out psychological diagnostics for refugees in the state of Brandenburg with a focus on special vulnerability. Sometimes people experience inner difficulties and unpleasant symptoms that cannot be explained by current challenges alone. Ms Prib-Talpyha's aim is to work with people to see whether potentially traumatising experiences they had before and during their flight are still having an adverse effect on their lives and everyday life today, so that the special needs of those affected can be recognised and taken into account as far as possible.
