Pediatric Hematology-Oncology
This clinician is not accepting new patients at this time. If you are a current patient, please contact the office.
Lyn Balsamo, PhD, specializes in pediatric hematology and oncology, focusing on the psychological aspects of cancer treatment and survivorship in children and adolescents. Her work addresses neurocognitive disorders and psycho-oncology, and she is part of the Pediatric HEROS Survivorship Program, where she helps young cancer survivors navigate the challenges of life after treatment.
Balsamo emphasizes the importance of mental health and resilience in young adults facing cancer. She advises, "Be kind to yourself. Don't judge or evaluate what you feel. There's no right or only way." Her approach includes teaching adaptive coping strategies to improve resilience, encouraging patients to maintain social connections, and following health care recommendations to support mental wellness.
As an associate research scientist in pediatrics (hematology/oncology) at Yale School of Medicine, Balsamo collaborates with experts in neuropsychology and child and adolescent health to develop evidence-based programs that teach stress management and wellness strategies. She advocates for early intervention, helping patients build skills to manage difficulties before they arise.
Balsamo completed her doctorate at American University. She pursued further training as an intern at the Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital and as a fellow in neuropsychology at Yale School of Medicine.
