Mishel Cowart
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA
I believe that life’s most difficult moments are often the catalysts for our greatest growth. As a practicing psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, my mission is to provide you with a safe, inclusive, and deeply collaborative space to explore the roots of your challenges and discover a more purposeful way of living.
My approach is holistic, focusing on the integration of your mind, body, and inner self. I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all, so I draw from specialized modalities—including Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology, and EMDR—to tailor our work to your unique goals. Whether we are utilizing dream work, creative arts, or exploring the neurobiology of your attachment patterns and relationships, my aim is the same: to help you release old, limiting patterns so you can cultivate a more meaningful life.
I have the privilege of working with individuals from all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those who are defining their own personal paths. My role is to serve as a partner on your journey, offering specialized, guidance-oriented support to help you achieve deeper satisfaction in your career, your relationships, and your physical intimacy.
If you are ready to build a stronger sense of self and move toward a life of greater fulfillment, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how we might work together.

Talia Chanoff
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Hello! Client's seeking therapy with me are met with dignity, warmth, attunement and deep care for their stories. I have a strong foundation in community mental health and ongoing work as a solo practitioner in private practice. I have also lived with a chronic illness for more than twenty years, a journey that has deeply shaped how I understand self-care, resilience, and what it means to show up for oneself—even in the presence of ongoing pain and discomfort. I understand how pain--both physical and emotional--can shape our inner worlds and influence how we move through our lives, sometimes leaving us feeling stuck in patterns that no longer reflect our values or our visions for the future. I love supporting people who are navigating similar terrain—whether that includes chronic illness or chronic pain, substance use and harm reduction, a complicated relationship to food and body, or experiences of anxiety, loneliness, depression, and a broader sense of dis-ease—offering a space for reflection, compassion, and meaningful change.

Matthew Bishop
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
I work with people who feel stuck at crossroads — whether it’s the weight of anxiety, the strain in relationships, or the nagging sense that life isn’t lining up the way it should. In our sessions, I keep the focus practical and real. We’ll talk openly, get to the heart of what’s blocking you, and build strategies that actually fit your life.
My practice, Sonder Therapy Group in San Diego, helps teens, adults, and couples find traction when old patterns keep getting in the way. I draw from existential and evidence-based approaches, but I don’t drown clients in jargon. If you want someone who listens carefully, challenges you when needed, and respects your pace, that’s the kind of therapy I offer.
Whether you’re navigating stress, healing after loss, or rethinking how you connect in relationships, therapy can be the space to sort it out. If you’re in San Diego and looking for a therapist who brings both clarity and compassion, let’s talk.
