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.
