Our Company Ethos

The Heart Behind Sonderwell

The name Sonderwell was chosen with care. “Sonder” is the profound realization that each person lives a life as vivid and complex as our own. “Well” symbolizes the depth of emotional healing available when we are supported with compassion and respect.

At Sonderwell, we believe:

• Healing belongs to everyone — not just those in crisis.

• Therapy is a relationship built on trust, curiosity, and collaboration.

• Your story is sacred — and the parts you’ve hidden or silenced deserve space to breathe.

• BIPOC and marginalized voices matter and deserve culturally responsive care.

• You can grow and heal simultaneously. You don’t have to be “fixed” to begin.

We don’t just help you cope — we help you come home to yourself.

ABOUT ME

Meet Dr. Nikol Garcia, Ph.D., LCSW, LICSW

Founder of Sonderwell | Licensed Therapist | Educator | Advocate for Women & BIPOC Wellness

My work is grounded in both heart and science.

I hold a Doctorate in Higher Education Administration, a Master of Social Work, and dual bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Social Work. My clinical journey has included working with college students navigating identity crises, women across pregnancy and postpartum phases, individuals experiencing relationship difficulties, and those processing grief, terminal illness, or low self-worth.

I created Sonderwell to be a space where therapy is not just about surviving — but thriving. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, warm, and collaborative — blending techniques like EMDR and CBT with deep respect for your lived experience.

You’re the expert of your story. I’m here to help you rewrite it with more self-trust, clarity, and compassion.

Therapy with me is a space to exhale, explore, and grow.

Services we offer

  • Your journey. Your growth. Your therapy.

    At Sonderwell, therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We create a space where your story is honored and your goals are prioritized. Using an eclectic mix of evidence-based methods, we help you navigate self-esteem challenges, relationship dynamics, life transitions, and postpartum or pregnancy support—so you can step into your life with clarity, confidence, and balance.

  • Transform your past into a source of strength.

    EMDR at Sonderwell goes beyond traditional talk therapy. This innovative approach helps you reprocess trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks, creating space for growth and resilience. Guided with precision, compassion, and expertise, EMDR empowers you to rewrite your narrative and reclaim emotional freedom.

  • Sharpen your skills. Elevate your impact.

    Sonderwell supervision blends mentorship, reflection, and strategy for therapists at any stage. Prepare for licensure, refine your practice, or gain insight into complex cases with tailored guidance from a seasoned clinician. Flexible, virtual, and grounded in evidence-based principles—our supervision cultivates confident, capable, and inspired therapists.
