Channing Wittmann

Channing Wittmann serves as the Operations Manager and Intake Coordinator for BEST Consulting, Inc. and has been an integral part of the organization since 2019. Originally joining BEST through the acquisition of the Social Skills Group, she began as a Behavior Consultant and has steadily advanced into leadership roles that support both clinical services and organizational operations.

​

Channing earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Sacramento in 2018. Originally from Monterey County, she relocated to Sacramento in 2016 to pursue her education and begin her career in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

​

Her journey in the field began while attending Sacramento State, where she worked as a Registered Behavior Therapist Intern with a social skills program. Through her dedication and leadership, she quickly advanced into a Program Team Staff role, overseeing program implementation, program development, and the supervision of behavior technicians. After graduation, she became a Behavior Consultant, managing her own caseload while collaborating closely with BEST Consulting's ownership team during the Social Skills Group acquisition. She played a key role in integrating the strengths and values of both organizations, helping to develop the BEST Friends Social Skills Group that continues to serve clients today.

​

Throughout her career, Channing has developed extensive experience supporting families, adolescents, and young adults. Her clinical expertise includes social skills development, behavior management, and teaching critical life skills for older teens and adults, including college readiness, employment preparation, and independent living skills.

As her career evolved, Channing transitioned into administrative leadership, utilizing her strong communication skills and family-centered approach to support clients from their very first contact with BEST. Beginning as Intake Coordinator, she helped guide families through the enrollment process and ensure a positive onboarding experience. Over time, she expanded her responsibilities across multiple administrative departments before stepping into her current role as Operations Manager, where she oversees the day-to-day operations of the organization and supports the continued growth and success of BEST Consulting.

​

What Channing enjoys most about her work is the opportunity to witness growth across every stage of a client's journey. From watching young children learn foundational skills such as greetings and communication to ending the day laughing alongside teens in social groups, she values the relationships built with clients and families and the positive impact those connections create every day.
