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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have been a practicing psychotherapist in the San Francisco bay area since 1998. I am very experienced in helping adults navigate OCD, anxiety, job stress, burnout, trauma, addictive behaviors and relationship distress. I combine thoughtful depth work with practical tools for a scientifically informed, skillful, intelligent approach. I use effective tools such as EMDR, exposure and response prevention (E&RP), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotion focused therapy for couples (EFT) to support you through the difficulties you are navigating. Collaborating with an experienced psychologist can be a game changer. It can dramatically reduce suffering, create clarity and build a tool box specifically tailored to help you thrive through any challenge. My professional expertise is enhanced by my personal experience as a working mother, advocate for neurodiverse children, and long term relationship partner of 20+ years.
