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.

Chloe Lankshear
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed, Ed/S, LMFT
If you think you're ready to make some changes in your life, then I'm your person! If you've been struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, setting boundaries and/or relationship issues and you've been trying hard, but what you've been doing hasn't worked as well as you'd hoped, then we could be a good match. I'm originally from London, (one of the most diverse cities in the world). I'm half British and half French and I've also lived in Florida, California and now live in Costa Rica. As you can probably tell, I'm interested in different cultures, backgrounds and worldviews and how they can influence how we think and how we navigate our lives. I also have an appreciation and an understanding of the challenges involved in being an immigrant/the emotional upheaval of moving location. If all of this feels like a good fit, reach out for a consultation!

Charlie Taylor
Therapist, MHA, LCSW
Therapy with me is a safe place where you are allowed to be imperfect and explore your human side. You can share your story, relax, cry, laugh, and grow into the person you want to be.
I know that you have the ability to thrive under the right circumstances and heal. So I focus on creating a compassionate environment for you to safely explore your thoughts and emotions. Once you experience unconditional positive regard, you’ll begin to outgrow the harsh inner critic and tap into your full potential.
Similar to tidying up your home, we’ll work on your mental space. I’ll help you examine the beliefs and stories you hold about yourself so you can let go of those narratives that no longer serve you. This new space will make room for new energy and a renewed focus to support your well-being.

Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Life can leave you feeling shaken—betrayal, relational abuse, or divorce can erode trust, shake your sense of self, and make relationships feel unsafe. It’s normal to feel hurt, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I also specialize in sex therapy and intimacy work. Whether sexual desire feels distant, connection feels confusing, or intimacy brings anxiety, we can explore what’s getting in the way and work toward sexual confidence, satisfying closeness, and authentic connection.
In a supportive, nonjudgmental space, we’ll address the patterns holding you back, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and take practical steps toward safer, more fulfilling relationships and intimacy—so you can feel heard, valued, and connected again.

Mona Saba Valeriano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting.
In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels.
I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences.
It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.
