About Dasy

Bilingual Khmer psychologist combining modern techniques with cultural understanding

Sodasy Van - Psychologist

My Background

I'm a bilingual Khmer psychologist with both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology.

My training combines Western therapeutic approaches with an understanding of Khmer culture, family dynamics, and the unique challenges people face in Cambodia — whether they're locals navigating family expectations or expats adjusting to life here.

My Approach

I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I work collaboratively with each client, adapting my approach to what works best for you.

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed therapy.
