Dr. Sha'Rhonda Dunbar

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 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.

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.
