Compassionate Care Tailored to Your Unique Journey

Hello, I’m Doctor Sonia Juneja, a board-certified psychiatrist practicing since 2004.

During my career, spanning across two decades, I have helped countless individuals, families, couples and children feel better through pharmacological and psychotherapeutic work.

I’m glad you’re here.

In my practice, I take a whole-person approach—looking at the psychological, biological, and social pieces that make up who we are. I believe that mental health care should be both compassionate and results-driven, and I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen and supported.

My Experience

After residency, I completed a two-year fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and a one-year fellowship in Forensic Psychiatry at West Virginia University, where I also served as Chief Resident for the Acute Psychiatric Service. In that role, I mentored junior residents and conducted ER psychiatric evaluations.

I’ve worked with children, teens, and young adults in various settings, including as a consulting psychiatrist at Jewish Social Services Agency (JSSA) and more recently, at the National Center for Children and Families (NCCF), where I support youth in group homes, foster care, and independent living programs facing trauma and substance use challenges.

My Goal

At Washington Family Psychiatry, my goal is to create a space rooted in compassion and understanding—an ecosystem of care where you can begin your healing journey without shame, guilt, judgment, or self-doubt.

I want every person I work with to feel at ease, truly heard, and supported throughout the entire course of treatment.

Shared Perspective

Having lived in both India and the United States, I’m deeply attuned to the complexities of immigration, cultural identity, and assimilation. I bring that awareness into my work, recognizing how culture shapes our values, perspectives, and sense of self.

As someone with a transnational background, I approach each patient with cultural sensitivity and respect for the unique experiences they bring.
