"Many Titles But Only One Mission,
Healing My People With Love"
My name is Deon L Sanders and I am a Licensed Psychotherapist residing in the state of Georgia. I am also the Ower/CEO of Seek Wise Counsel and The Sanders Center for Recovery & Mental Wellness. I and my staff, specialize in African American psychology, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) Psychodynamic Therapy, Existential, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Schema Therapy, Gestalt, Trauma Focused CBT and IFS. My specific training and education in African American Psychology has provided me knowledge, research, and a deeper subconscious understanding of how the residual effects of slavery, and religious trauma hinders African American families, relationship building, thoughts and feelings to help communities and people of color heal.

​
When helping my people I utilize a culturally inclusive technique called Black Therapy.
Black Therapy is my clinically & culturally competent approach to Therapy.
​
With this approach, I utilize theory-based practices combined with cultural beliefs, practices and systems to identify, and assist clients with healing generational traumas, toxic thinking, toxic ways of building relationships with self and others.
​
I also have a strong background in childhood trauma, addiction (substances, sex, porn, gambling) treatment as well with depression, ADHD, anxiety, schizophrenia, anger management, sexuality acceptance, self-acceptance, and spirituality. I also have experience with suicidal and homicidal ideations and attempts.

INTRODUCING OUR STAFF
Malia Reese
APC
Are you tired of always feeling sad, unmotivated, lack of energy, and as if no one else cares? Do you have thoughts of wanting to escape, feeling emotionally unsafe, and unable to cope? I am an associate licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who understands asking for help can be a difficult step, but I am here to say you will not go through it alone.
Sometimes life events and challenges get the best of us or maybe you are struggling to find balance in your life. Relationships with friends, family, and partners can be challenging and maybe you are seeking better communication skills and understanding. Start your journey with me!
​
I specialize in working with young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trouble making new friends, issues adjusting to new situations, and more. Although I specialize working with young adults, I also work with 25+ helping them with similar issues including couples therapy. I also work with mood and personality disorders.
​
I have heard people say you have to be "crazy" to seek therapy, but in reality most people just want someone to talk to, and listen in an unbiased and nonjudgmental manner. I want to help you find the best version of yourself, develop healthier coping skills and grounding techniques, understanding how to love and care for yourself, and allow room for grace.
