Getting to know Alex Findlay

I'm a psychotherapist based in San Diego, and I help adults and adolescents tap into their emotional experience so they can live more fulfilling lives. Over the last 7 years, I’ve helped clients effectively navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and chronic pain. I practice at Sonder Therapy Group in Golden Hill. In our sessions, I work with clients to identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, build practical coping skills, and make changes that align with their values. My work is strongly informed by my own experience. I offer a genuine and compassionate approach I earned my master's degree in clinical social work from the University of Chicago. I’m dedicated to continuous professional development and lifelong learning.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use a person-centered approach to help my clients make meaningful changes in their lives. My work is informed by my own lived experience, and I'm extremely down-to-earth. I have a strong background in mindfulness-based interventions, such as DBT and ACT.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The process begins with building a strong therapeutic relationship and understanding your presenting problems. In our sessions, I work with you to set personalized goals and build skills to help you manage difficult emotions and situations more effectively.
