What Is Sonder?
Sonder/[son-der]/noun — The feeling one has, often in a crowd, upon realizing that every other individual one sees has a life that is as full and real as one’s own.
About Us
We suspect that Mother Theresa was onto something when she wisely said, “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
Sonder Therapy Group is a group of mental health professionals who try to play our small part in the bigger movement of bringing healing to the lives of individuals (both young and old), couples, and families.
We aspire to bring sharp minds of therapeutic expertise, clinical best practices, and a commitment to excellence with compassionate hearts that create environments of safety, trust, and openness.
Our Core Values
With Sonder, authenticity comes first. We show up with a genuineness that is palpable. As a staff, we have a firm commitment to our own continued individual growth. If you’ll excuse the expression, we want to “smoke what we’re selling”. We believe that, as clinicians, our best work with clients will come from being actively engaged in our own healing, learning, growth, and transformation as individuals.
By embracing our own journey, we aim to guide others with integrity and empathy. We are dedicated to fostering a compassionate, non-judgmental space for both our clients and ourselves, where authenticity, curiosity, and mutual respect create the foundation for meaningful growth.
We back up that authenticity with clinical excellence. Our team is filled with lifelong learners. The field of psychotherapy is a constantly evolving space with robust research continually revealing new and exciting revelations. Our team is supported to select trainings and professional developments they know will best help them grow.
We believe that staying active in spaces of learning and growth enhances our ability to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our commitment to professional development is not just about acquiring new knowledge—it’s about applying that knowledge with skill, compassion, and creativity, ensuring that our clients receive the highest standard of care as they navigate their own healing journeys.
