Marriage And Family Therapist

Sonder Therapy Group is a San Diego psychotherapy practice built around a simple conviction: good therapy requires a real relationship. People need a therapist who is curious about their lives, willing to ask difficult questions, and invested in helping them change. Founded by Dr. Matthew Bishop, Sonder serves teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, and relationship challenges. Our work makes room for both compassion and empowerment. We help people understand the forces that have shaped them while recognizing their capacity to choose what comes next. We value depth, humor, intellectual curiosity, and the courage to be honest. We take clinical work seriously and believe there is room to be fully human while doing it. About the Role We’re looking for an engaged, thoughtful therapist to join our San Diego practice in a full-time, on-site role. You’ll provide individual, couples, and family therapy, with a caseload shaped by your experience, interests, and areas of competence. We’re especially interested in clinicians who bring a clear sense of themselves into the room. Someone who can build trust with a skeptical teenager, stay present with a couple in conflict, and thoughtfully challenge a client when a familiar pattern is keeping them stuck. Someone who can offer warmth without avoiding difficult conversations. Responsibilities include conducting intakes and assessments, developing treatment plans, maintaining timely documentation, and collaborating with colleagues, supervisors, and other providers when appropriate. We also expect clinicians to take ownership of their work: follow through, communicate clearly, seek consultation, and keep learning. Who We’re Looking For A California-licensed LMFT or registered AMFT (supervision provided). Experience working with teens, adults, and/or couples, along with a thoughtful understanding of your strengths and the areas where you need support. A grounding in therapeutic theory, with the ability to adapt your approach to the person in front of you. The ability to balance empathy with directness and respect a client’s autonomy while helping them confront difficult realities. Curiosity about people whose beliefs, backgrounds, identities, and life choices differ from your own. Clients should have room to examine their lives without feeling steered toward their therapist’s worldview. Openness to feedback, willingness to examine your own assumptions, and the humility to say when you don’t know. Strong professional boundaries, reliable communication, and consistent attention to documentation and the practical responsibilities of clinical care. #J-18808-Ljbffr
