About Us

Sorya Pao, MSW, LICSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker/ therapist in Washington. I received my Master’s Degree from the University of Washington and continued my post-graduate training in the Seattle area. As a Cambodian-American woman, I enjoy working with AAPI clients and I welcome individuals of all backgrounds to my practice. It is my passion to support in healing and expansion through a culturally sensitive lens for issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship/attachment concerns.


Achieving and maintaining an ideal life looks different for everyone. I believe in a holistic perspective that utilizes talk therapy and somatic approaches to meet your needs. I am trained in a variety of modalities including Brainspotting, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I include wisdom from experiential self-compassion, relational neuroscience, and relational-attachment theory to inform my work. I consider myself a lifelong learner and strive to refine my skills and education regularly through ongoing learning and consultation.
