About Us | Our Story

We exist to help you live life well.

Founded by Licensed Professional Counselors Dr. Nicole Thaxton and RJ Thaxton in 2020, Atlanta Wellness Collective is a modern mental health practice offering approachable, holistic mental healthcare for the whole person - mind, body, soul, and spirit.

Our purpose is to create safe spaces for healing, growth, and transformation. We’re dedicated to providing exceptional, client-centered mental health services that empower individuals, couples, families, and groups on their unique journeys toward well-being. Through our modern, inviting offices and a compassionate team, we strive to create an inspiring atmosphere for the inner work of healing and personal development.

“Having worked in private practice, we were too familiar with the mental health field’s often stigmatized reputation,” RJ says. “Our goal was to create a space and atmosphere that feels inspiring. A place to grow, to transform, to heal, to create a life well lived, not only for your mental health, but for your overall health and relationships.”

At our offices in Acworth, Marietta, and Roswell, and across the state of Georgia via telehealth, Atlanta Wellness Collective providers — who are licensed mental healthcare providers — promote personalized care with holistic treatment plans and services. We currently offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling and therapy for ages 3+ with a wide array of specializations. We have an in-house Registered Dietician who offers collaborative nutrition counseling. We also offer corporate and group speaking, training, and workshops.

As a leading force in modern mental healthcare, Atlanta Wellness Collective envisions a community where holistic well-being is prioritized and accessible to all. We aspire to be recognized for our innovative, collaborative approach, fostering an environment that not only meets but exceeds the diverse needs of our clients. Our vision extends beyond therapy sessions; we aim to be a catalyst for positive change in our local communities, influencing the larger landscape of mental health by advocating for excellent, holistic practices. In March 2024, we were honored to receive the coveted “Best Therapy Group” award in the Best of Cobb 2024. We deeply value this recognition, as it reflects our commitment to community, excellence, and mental health advocacy in the Atlanta area.

“Our providers are focused on holistic wellness - for our clients and for ourselves,” says Dr. Nicole. “Health encompasses mind, body, spirit, relationships, environment, and so much more. Every client is unique, and every treatment plan is unique. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We work with each client to meet their individual needs and goals.”
