Sonia Kotecha is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington, DC. She works with adults, primarily those struggling with feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and relationship dissatisfaction. Using an integrative approach, Sonia guides clients in examining their expectations of themselves and others, reengaging with their core values in order to deepen interpersonal connections and live a freer and more purpose-driven life.
At the heart of Sonia’s practice is a deep appreciation of the wholeness of each individual. Through her own lived experiences as a South Asian American growing up with immigrant parents, she understands the nuances of belonging, identity, overcoming stigma, and negotiating family and cultural expectations. She helps clients to find a balance between their vision of themselves and outside pressures, carving out boundaries and finding their true voice. By creating space for self-compassion and insightful awareness, Sonia supports clients to let go of their perceived shortcomings and show up with their full strength and resilience.
Sonia has over 18 years of professional experience, from being on the front line working directly with children and families in crisis to leading and managing others in organizational and community-based settings. With an open, flexible, and engaged style, Sonia is dedicated to ensuring that the skills gained in therapy are transferable to clients’ everyday life. Her downtown office is easily accessible from the Red line at Farragut North, and she also welcomes new clients via telehealth.
