OUR FOUNDER
Deon L. Sanders
Licensed Psychotherapist | Owner & CEO
Deon L. Sanders is a highly experienced Licensed Psychotherapist based in Georgia and the visionary founder of Seek Wise Counsel and The Sanders Center for Recovery & Mental Wellness. With 18 years of clinical experience, Deon has dedicated his career to providing transformative Individual, Couples, Marriage, Family, and Group therapy.
Specialized Approach to Healing
Deon and his team specialize in a wide range of evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, Schema Therapy, Gestalt, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). However, his work is most deeply rooted in African American Psychology and trauma-informed care.
His specialized training provides a profound understanding of how the residual effects of historical trauma and religious trauma impact modern African American families and relationship dynamics. To address these unique challenges, Deon utilizes a culturally inclusive technique known as Black Therapy, which blends theory-based clinical practices with cultural systems to help clients of color dismantle generational trauma and toxic thought patterns.
