Hello there!

My aim as a therapist is to connect with you as a person, not just a client. In my opinion, therapy can be fun, not just full of tears and processing hard things. I try to make it fun and enjoyable even though there will be times when it's difficult. I use humor to bring you out of your shell and connection to get you where you want to go! I can't wait to meet you.

Dr. Sha'Rhonda Dunbar

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4 mi away • Suwanee, GA


Reaching out for therapy is a courageous first step, and I strive to make that step feel as comfortable as possible. I believe healing happens when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out.

I work with individuals ages 12 and older who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Whether you're facing a recent challenge or carrying experiences that have weighed on you for years, we'll work together to better understand what's happening beneath the surface and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I see therapy as a partnership. You'll be met with compassion, curiosity, and respect as we work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you.

Kelsey Sander

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Alpharetta, GA


Hi! My name is Kelsey! I am a fully-licensed therapist who loves working with people with eating disorders, body image issues, OCD, anxiety, childhood sexual abuse, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. At State of Grace Counseling Services, I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for individuals to explore their mental health, eating disorder, and trauma recovery needs. My mission is to empower clients and their families to overcome challenges, build fulfilling relationships, and increase happiness and meaning in life. I have worked in the eating disorder space for more than 6 years, including being the Clinical Director of an eating disorder program.

I grew up in Richmond, VA, attended undergrad at Furman University, and completed my Masters degree at VCU. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS).

When I am not seeing clients, I enjoy time with friends, hiking, traveling, reading, exploring new restaurants, and game nights.

And yes, the practice name is a nod to both my love of Christ as well as my love of Taylor Swift; gotta love dialectics!

I look forward to working together!
