Getting to know Dr. Sonia Diaz
Dr. Sonia Diaz is a Virginia-licensed physician who provides thoughtful, patient-centered telehealth care to adults across the state. With formal training in psychiatry, she brings a nuanced understanding of both physical and mental health to every evaluation.
Dr. Diaz believes medical care should feel collaborative, respectful, and clear. During each visit, she takes time to understand your history, symptoms, and goals before discussing whether medical cannabis may be an appropriate option. Patients value her ability to explain complex topics in a grounded, straightforward way — without judgment or pressure.
Her approach emphasizes safety, transparency, and individualized guidance. Each evaluation includes a comprehensive medical review, education about potential risks and benefits, and clear next steps when appropriate.
Dr. Diaz founded Welmivia Medical to offer a more personal, physician-led alternative to impersonal certification clinics — creating space for patients to feel heard, informed, and supported.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working together is thoughtful, collaborative, and intentionally paced. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your full clinical picture—not just symptoms. Care may include psychotherapy, medication, and integrative approaches when appropriate.
I work with a limited number of patients to ensure consistency, accessibility, and depth. The goal is steady, meaningful progress over time rather than quick fixes.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We start with an extended initial evaluation to clarify diagnosis, patterns, and goals. From there, we develop an individualized treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication management, and integrative support depending on your needs. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication, and, when relevant, support around metabolic, hormonal, or lifestyle factors that impact mental health.
Follow-up visits are longer than typical and focused on continuity—tracking progress, adjusting treatment thoughtfully, and building a deeper understanding over time. Care is collaborative, with regular check-ins and coordination when needed.
