Hello, I’m Dr. Warrick Stewart. I am a Board-Certified Psychotherapist, licensed to practice in Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, and North Carolina. At the heart of my work is a deep compassion for people who are navigating life’s hardest seasons. I specialize in helping individuals and couples facing trauma, emotional pain, self-doubt, and the struggles that come with anger, substance use, and depression. My role is to walk alongside you, offering evidence-based approaches such as reality-based and solution-focused therapy, while always tailoring our work to meet your unique needs. In my practice, clients find a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where they are safe to be themselves. Here, you can speak your truth, confront what has been holding you back, and begin the process of healing. I am eclectic in my methods—drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques—because I believe every person deserves an approach as unique as their story. I strive to be thorough but kind, authentic yet gentle, and always deeply respectful of the courage it takes to begin therapy. My goal is to help you process your experiences, rediscover your strengths, and move forward toward a life filled with meaning and possibility. Healing takes willingness and effort, but you don’t have to walk the journey alone. Together, we can create a path toward growth, resilience, and lasting change. Let’s get started today.

I always knew that I wanted to be a helping professional. As part of an assignment, while taking a counseling course designed to assist offenders with substance abuse problems, I had to write in five words or less what I wanted people to remember about me. My words were “helped people live better lives.” I have over 30 years of experience working with clients who live with psychiatric and substance use disorders. I started my "helping" career working for the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC). After observing the effects of early childhood trauma on many of the offenders that I supervised, I decided to end my 21-year career with GDC and pursue an education in counseling. I have never regretted this decision! For the last 6 years I have provided psychotherapy for individuals and groups. I love doing what I believe I have been called to do and my life's work remains guided by those five simple words in my title. I look forward to helping you learn to live a better life!

My name is Lee Maxwell; a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Maximum Wellness, LLC. I have lived and worked in Metro Atlanta for over two decades. I grew up in rural Georgia; born to older parents who instilled in me the value of connection with others and treating others as I would want to be treated. I gained my passion for working in Geriatrics from my mother, who, on most Sundays throughout my childhood, would take me along with her to visit a local nursing home. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Georgia Southern University; followed by a graduate degree in Clinical Social Work from Savannah State University. I have been working in the field of mental health care for 25 years; 16 of which have been dedicated to providing psychotherapy services; primarily to a geriatric population. After working in senior living communities throughout the pandemic, I decided to afford myself the opportunity to work with a younger population; which I found to be refreshing and resulted in opening up my private practice to include services for all adults over the age of 18yo. I have been professionally licensed in the state of Georgia since 2009.

My approach to therapy is holistic, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. In our first session you can expect to learn more about somatic therapies, and other mind-body bridging practices. By the end of the session you will have some tools you can start using right away. We will work together to identify your goals for therapy and create a treatment plan just for you. I specialize in treatments that get you grounded, with a sense of safety, acceptance of what is, and curiosity and excitement about what could be! Before I became a therapist, I was a yoga and mindfulness educator for 30+ years. I bring my expertise in mindfulness, meditation and breath work into every session treating mind, body and spirit. What ever your mental health challenge, I'm here to help. Seeking out, and then showing up for therapy can be hard, but you are making the right choice! We'll work together using evidence-based techniques that are proven to help you manage your struggles and heal your trauma. I hope we connect soon and get you started on a path to healing and happiness right away. Just one other thing... I require all of my clients to have their cameras on during all sessions. Its a safety thing.... and I appreciate your understanding.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Georgia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals, teens, and families. I have worked with clients on a wide range of issues. I started my career working in child welfare where I worked alongside parents to help them become the best versions of themselves as individuals and as parents. I am experienced in working with parents and teens and helping each person improve those familial relationships. For over a decade, I had the honor of working in medical settings with individuals coping with and adjusting to a new chronic and/or terminal disease diagnosis and with their families as they grapple with their new normal. I have facilitated grief support groups for those who have lost a loved one or experienced a different type of loss. Processing grief is very important and looks different for each individual. I enjoy partnering with clients in finding their way back to joy and purpose after a loss. It is a huge step to seek out therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping you become the healthiest version of yourself.

I am personally interested in your healing, restoration, and growth, and I am passionate about the stories that are yet to be told. I enjoy helping both young and old people who are struggling with their identity, anxiety, and depression. My approach is firmly grounded in their inner strength and resilience of hope, empowering them to rise like eagles above the flood that threatens to overwhelm them.

I'm a fully licensed therapist who found my calling in mental health after spending 14 years in education. My transition into therapy was deeply personal—having experienced the power of therapy myself during a period of grief, I developed a profound respect for the healing process. That experience continues to fuel my passion for helping clients navigate life’s challenges and achieve their personal goals. I don’t take it lightly that you’re here—seeking support is a courageous step. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My commitment is to walk alongside you in this journey with the same care, empathy, and integrity that I would want for myself.

I have been practicing psychotherapy part-time for about 30 years while I was a full-time college professor at the University of Miami, The University of Tennessee at Martin, and Middle Georgia State University. Since 2023, I decided to retire from Higher Education and practice full-time as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Macon, GA. Every time I meet with a client, I consider it a "holy" moment when someone allows me to enter into their inner space and I can share some of mine to establish a genuine connection with a fellow sojourner.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Georgia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take AvMed?

Yes! If you use AvMed you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have AvMed you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
