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 family-owned mental health practice offering approachable, expert 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.
“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 an environment 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 health care providers—promote personalized care with holistic treatment plans and services. We offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling and therapy for ages 3+ with a wide array of specializations. We have an in-house Registered Dietitian who offers collaborative nutrition counseling. We also offer corporate speaking, training, and workshops.

At Atlanta Wellness Collective, we aspire to be recognized for our 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. In 2024, 2025, and 2026, we were honored to receive the coveted “Best Therapy Group” award in the Best of Cobb. We deeply value this recognition, as it reflects our commitment to community, excellence, and mental health advocacy across 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, background, 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.”
