D'Mya's Approach
I believe in building a genuine connection with every client and creating a space where you can show up as your authentic self. Rather than making assumptions about your story, I take the time to understand your unique experiences, perspectives, and strengths. My approach is inclusive and culturally responsive, considering how culture, identity, family, and community shape your experiences and decisions. I draw from person-centered, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral approaches, along with motivational interviewing and other strengths-based methods. We’ll work collaboratively to navigate challenges, identify goals, and support meaningful growth through honest, compassionate, and nonjudgmental conversations. I support clients navigating concerns such as anxiety and depression, helping you develop practical tools while reconnecting with your strengths and sense of self. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, gain clarity, and move toward the life you want to create.
About D'Mya Sanders, (she/her) LCMHC-A
Associate Therapist
D’Mya really enjoys getting to know people and hearing the stories that have shaped who they are. She believes therapy should be a space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood. She takes the time to build genuine connections with each client and recognize the strengths they already carry as they work together to understand what brought them to therapy.
As a proud alumna of Augusta University, D’Mya values connection, community, and lifelong learning. Her identity is deeply rooted in her Southern upbringing—from her deep Southern accent to the people, places, traditions, and experiences that have shaped her. Her Southern roots have taught her the importance of resilience, storytelling, and showing up for one another—values she brings into her work with clients.
Outside of therapy, D’Mya enjoys music, dancing, and writing whenever she has the time. She believes the things that bring us joy and help us feel connected to ourselves can be an important part of our well-being. Above all, she wants every client she works with to know one thing: they will be seen and heard.
Specializations
Racial & Identity Trauma
Your culture, identity, and family can shape how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. D’Mya creates space to explore racial identity and the impact of racial trauma while honoring the values, traditions, and beliefs that are meaningful to you. You don’t have to let go of where you come from to grow—therapy can help you better understand what you’ve carried, decide what still serves you, and make room for who you’re becoming
Relationship & Couples Counseling
Whether you’re working through communication struggles, trust, conflict, or simply want a stronger connection, D’Mya helps individuals and couples build understanding and navigate challenges together in a collaborative, judgment-free space. Compassion and professionalism and central in helping you strengthen your relationships, develop healthier patterns, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Faith & Spirituality
For some, faith can be a source of comfort and connection; for others, their relationship with religion may feel complicated, painful, or difficult to reconcile with their lived experiences. D’Mya supports clients as they explore what faith, spirituality, and a relationship with God means to them personally—including learning what it can look like to love God while still asking questions, holding doubts, or working through past hurts.
Religion can sometimes leave people feeling as though they have to choose between their faith and their mental health- D’Mya believes there is room for both. Therapy can provide a space to process, heal, and understand yourself deeply. You shouldn’t have to choose.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
D’Mya works with LGBTQ+ clients as they navigate the realities of identity, relationships, belonging, and the expectations that can come from both within and outside of their communities. Grounded in compassion, respect, and a genuine investment, D’Mya is committed to each client’s lived experience. Therapy offers a space to sort through what feels complicated, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Women’s & Men’s Support
D’Mya supports women of color navigating the intersection of identity, relationships, family, work, and the expectations placed on them. She recognizes that strength, responsibility, community, and cultural expectations can shape how women show up for themselves and others. Therapy provides space to explore those experiences with compassion, honesty, and intention while investing in your growth, boundaries, confidence, and overall well-being.
D’Mya works with men of color navigating the expectations, pressures, and complexities that can come with identity, relationships, family, work, and masculinity. She recognizes that vulnerability and emotional expression can be complicated by cultural and generational messages about what it means to be a man. Therapy offers an opportunity for honest conversation, greater self-awareness, and meaningful growth in a space that respects where you come from while supporting where you want to go.
