Our Specialities
Every person who walks through our door brings a unique story, a unique set of struggles, and a unique vision of what healing could look like. The specialties below represent some of the most common experiences our clinicians are trained to support — but they are never the whole of who you are. At Sonder Psychotherapy, we treat the person, not just the presenting concern.
Anxiety & Depression
You are more than your hardest days.
Anxiety and depression are among the most common human experiences — and among the most isolating. Anxiety can look like constant worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, and a nervous system that never quite gets the message that it's safe to rest. Depression can look like heaviness, numbness, withdrawal, and a quiet but persistent sense that things will never really change. Sometimes they show up together, each one feeding the other in ways that can feel impossible to untangle.
What we know is this: anxiety and depression are not character flaws, signs of weakness, or things you should be able to just push through. They are real, they are valid, and they are treatable. At Sonder Psychotherapy, we work with you to understand what's underneath — the patterns, the history, the nervous system responses that once made sense and are now costing you — and build a path toward genuine relief. Not just coping. Real, lasting change.
Trauma & PTSD
What happened to you is not who you are.
Trauma is not just what happened to you — it is what happened inside you as a result. It lives in the body, in the nervous system, in the ways you learned to protect yourself when the world felt unsafe. It shows up as hypervigilance, as numbness, as triggers that seem to come from nowhere, as a persistent sense of being on edge even when everything around you is fine. It can be the result of a single devastating event or a lifetime of smaller wounds that accumulated quietly over time.
Healing from trauma is possible. It doesn't require you to relive every detail or to be further from it than you are. It requires a safe relationship, the right approach, and enough time to let your nervous system learn — slowly, gently — that it is okay to come home to yourself. Our clinicians are trained in trauma-informed and somatic approaches that honor the pace of your healing and meet you exactly where you are.
Relationships
The people we love the most can also be the hardest to be close to.
Relationships — with partners, family members, friends, and even ourselves — are at the heart of so much of what brings people to therapy. Communication that keeps breaking down. Patterns that repeat no matter how hard you try. Attachment wounds that show up in the people you love most. The slow drift of a connection that once felt solid. The aftermath of a betrayal that changed everything.
Relational work at Sonder Psychotherapy explores not just what is happening in your relationships, but why — and what it would take to build something healthier, more honest, and more fulfilling. Whether you are working through a specific challenge or simply trying to understand why connection feels so hard, we are here to help you find your way toward the relationships you deserve.
Identity
Becoming who you are is some of the most important work there is.
Questions of identity — who you are, where you belong, how you want to move through the world — can be among the most profound and disorienting a person may face. This is especially true for those navigating the intersection of multiple identities: race, culture, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, family history, and more. The process of understanding and claiming your identity can bring enormous freedom — and it can also bring grief, confusion, conflict, and the particular loneliness of feeling like you exist between worlds.
At Sonder Psychotherapy, we provide affirming, culturally sensitive support for clients exploring all aspects of identity — including LGBTQIA+ identity, gender exploration, cultural identity, and the experience of living in a world that has not always made space for who you are. You don't have to have it figured out to begin. You just have to be willing to look — and we will be right there with you.
Not sure
where you fit?
You don't have to arrive with a diagnosis or a clear sense of what's wrong. Many of our clients come to us simply knowing that something isn't working — and that they're ready for something different. That's enough. Reach out and let's figure it out together.
