Sarah Koerner
Psychologist, PsyD
I am a psychologist who has been working with clients since 2007. We all have times in life where we feel stuck and the way we've always done things isn't working for us anymore. Sometimes those stuck points look like feeling irritated, numb, scared, sad, or not able to turn off our thoughts. I create a supportive space to explore what’s working, and what's not working, in my clients' lives. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation with clinical info and suggestions peppered in. I believe humor and joy are often useful to help shift perspective. My goal is for clients to learn how to live in the present so that they can engage more fully in their lives.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My clients are typically LGBTQIA+ professionals in their 30s and 40s who are struggling with some aspects of relationships or dating, and with their own self-worth, often because of a conservative, religious upbringing. I help people learn to manage anxiety and improve their relationships with others, and we go beyond just scratching the surface. Some of my clients are in the process of coming out for the first time. Many are experiencing the aftermath of religious harm or religious trauma. Many are trans folks in the process of their transition.

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.

Elvina Inzano (legal name: vincent inzano)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT 130331
I work towards engaging from a compassionate, anti-oppressive, and trauma informed positionality. One of my focuses is on collaborating to better understand yourself(selves) as integrated mind/body/spirit/social/relational being(s) (soma) and reprocessing what your soma(s) hold. Some of the ways in which we can do this is through building upon the stories that empower you , learning skills for personal and/or interpersonal fulfillment. We all deserve to live our lives liberated from the reactive survival responses of trauma.
