Sonal Patel
Sonal Patel has always had a passion to work with children. "I was naturally caring and empathetic and wanted to somehow be involved with promoting healthy lives for children. I always knew I wanted to work with kids."
With a specialization in infancy and early childhood, it was a natural fit for Sonal to come to SCAN. She joined SCAN's Child Advocacy Center (CAC) in November of 2014 as a Mental Health Therapist, and works with children from age 3 to 18. Although she mainly works with children, she occasionally works with adults and strongly believes in family therapy.
"We offer parent support groups and family therapy to help parents deal with the process they are going through. They often have a history of abuse and family therapy can help promote recovery and healing." said Sonal.
Sonal is from Richmond, but has spent the last 9 years in Northern Virginia. She worked on the Fairfax Community Services Board for Youth and Family Community Mental Health. She was on a multidisciplinary team that collaborates with the juvenile court system, schools, and the Department of Social Services.
