Sonder Therapy Group — Psychotherapist in San Diego, CA

Matt is the kind of guy that you can talk to about anything and it doesn't feel "like therapy", but suddenly you're feeling more positive and seeing things with more clarity and they feel easier to handle. When speaking with him, you feel like you're talking to a real person, not some copy and paste, buttoned up therapist.

I can’t say enough good things about Matt and Sonder Therapy Group. Matt brings a down-to-earth, relatable presence that makes therapy feel like a real conversation, not a lecture. He’s especially gifted at supporting partners who are hesitant about therapy and helps people explore deeper life and relational questions with honesty and care. The entire group creates a safe, welcoming space where clients feel truly heard and supported through life’s challenges.

Matt and Sonder Therapy Group are truly special. As a fellow therapist, I really admire the way Matt combines depth, skill, and genuine care. He’s one of those rare clinicians who can hold space with warmth and compassion while also offering real, grounded insight. You can feel that he’s deeply attuned and committed to helping people grow and heal. It’s clear that Sonder was built with heart, by people who show up as real humans and truly know how to help others do the same. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt and his team to anyone looking for meaningful, transformative therapy.

I've been seeing Matt for four years and it's been absolutely life changing. He has a rare ability to know when to simply listen and when to push me in ways that foster growth. His challenges aren’t just about addressing immediate struggles, they’ve helped me build lasting capacity and mental resilience. I’ve experienced tremendous growth both personally and in my relationships.

I have been seeing Matt for several years now. A friend referred me to him after sharing techniques and coping mechanisms they learned from him. I am SO grateful for all his help. I have come a long way from needing to see him weekly, to biweekly, to where I'm at now which is about once a month. I see him virtually as I am located in the Long Beach area. I recently went on vacation in San Diego and was so excited to meet him in person for the first time! Matt and his husky Monty are the best and I am so appreciative to have found him after a slew of therapists that just weren't the right match for me. Thank you Matt from the bottom of my heart for bettering my quality of life.
