About me

My name is Sondra G. Petty. I am a seasoned clinical social worker who has worked with all ethic groups with a specialty in addictions, women's issues, mental health in the areas of Depression, anxiety, mood disorders, crisis intervention, grief and coping family and career issues. I am a graduate of Howard University. I had additional study at Smith College in Object Relations Theory and The George Washington University.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will be rapport building with the client. We will begin to discover who the client to explore who we can begin to work together to make their plan to make the changes they want. My goal is to be a non-judgmental safe place when my clients can look at themselves.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is the empathy and compassion with my clients. We are on this journey together. My goal is to help clients be the best person they want to be by understanding how they can do things differently to be the change they want to see in themselves. I have worked in the area of addictions, veterans issues and mental health for the past 30 years.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve women of all ages. Especially women of color who may be experiencing challenges on all fronts with career, family, racism and finding where they feel most comfortable in society.

Love she can put things into perspective and allow me to see them from a different point of view. She also make it easy to open up to her seeing as though I don't open up much. Highly recommend.

Having a person who is warm, and compassionate makes it easier to be vulnerable and really tap into the things that bother you or hinder you from being the best version of yourself. Grateful to be able to tackle some of the issues that weigh me down.
