C. Chheng Ear, MSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
California Board of Behavioral Sciences

Chheng (she/her) is a licensed clinical social worker who has dedicated her professional journey to supporting children, adolescents, and the adults who love them. Witnessing their progress brings her immense joy, and the enriching connections they build together inspire her work. Chheng's therapeutic approach is a blend of playfulness and seriousness, creating a space where children connect with their inner strengths and find practical tools to quiet any chaos hindering growth and well-being. Her therapeutic approach is respectful, compassionate, and grounded in the latest insights on attachment, developmental science, relational neurobiology, brain development, sensory processing, and trauma.

Clinical Experience:
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Chheng has seen remarkable transformations: children finding increased joy and new capacities, families relating to each other in new ways, and individuals discovering their hidden potential. She believes in finding natural interventions that can get to the root causes as opposed to managing behavioral symptoms. She believes that every person brings their own unique personality, sensitivities, ancestral/familial experiences to their environment.
