Let's be real - life’s messy, people are complicated, and therapy shouldn’t feel like a tense, uncomfortable session where you’re scared to be yourself or worried about being judged. I’m human too, and making sure this space feels genuinely safe, welcoming, and judgment-free isn’t just something I do, it’s at the core of who I am as a therapist. You deserve to be fully seen and heard exactly as you are, no masks, no pretending, and I’m here to keep it real with you every step of the way. I am a licensed professional counselor with six years of experience working alongside children, adolescents, adults, and those facing some of life’s toughest challenges. I bring a spunky, eclectic energy into the room and aim to create dialogue that feels real, honest, and refreshingly human. Never forced or scripted. I work from a trauma-informed perspective, weaving together multiple evidence-based methods to tailor treatment that fits you, not the other way around. Specializing in trauma, major depressive disorder, suicidal ideation, anxiety, PTSD, and navigating complex family relationship dynamics, I’m committed to fostering autonomy and safety in every session. I welcome all identities and backgrounds with open arms, ensuring everyone feels accepted and valued in this space.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Counselor Educator & Supervisor specializing in racial and health equity for Black, and Indigenous, and People of Color. With over a decade of direct care in behavioral health and two years of experience in research, I aspire to adapt therapeutic approaches to effectively treat diverse populations; Understanding cultural, historical, and societal factors that shape the human experience, our sense of being, meaning and purpose, and relationships is core to my clinical approach.
Clients can expect to learn about and explore all aspects of their identity. They exercise autonomy as a means of being empowered to promote equity in the therapeutic relationship and in our sessions. Clients can anticipate that I as a counselor will seek to learn about and incorporate aspects of their culture to be both informed, sensitive, and to exercise humility. We will collaborate to develop and refine treatment goals, constantly seeking to incorporate client's individual strengths and when available, collective strengths of those they have relationships with. I will strive to assist all clients in self-actualizing, identifying meaning, and creating innovative solutions to achieve purpose.
If you are paying cash or out of pocket, please book your appointment. I offer a sliding scale fee based on income (starting at $40/session) and special rates for students ($25/session). Please inquire if you believe you meet these qualifications.

I primarily work with concerns related to lack of meaning, trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. While I emphasize choice and personal responsibility, I also make it a priority to validate each client’s emotional experience.

I want to first applaud you for taking the leap to get support for your next chapter! You've made the leap in deciding on therapy, now let's keep the momentum with finding a therapist that is right for you, right now!
I especially work with clients to explore recurring challenges related to anxiety, PTSD, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients identify maladaptive patterns, develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
I strive to personalize and facilitate systematic, strategic, and effective support plans for individuals to achieve what they believe (or don't believe is possible) after a series of setbacks or interpersonal challenges. I am a goal-oriented clinician who comes alongside my clients to discover or re-discover the self that may have gotten muddled along the way.
When feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, unexpected transitions, and low energy to overcome mental health challenges or setbacks, I fervently adopt the coach and modeling posture that will help you to learn and use adaptive mental health tools that will promote renewal, clarity, and rhythmic motivation to take control of your whole health and wellness journey.

I view the counseling process as an alliance between you and I. In this alliance you are the expert and I will help you navigate those areas you find overwhelming. In our sessions together you will have a safe space to express your feelings and heal.
My theoretic approach to counseling is knowing you are in charge of your life and have the capacity to enact change in your life. You will learn the bounds of aspects of your life that you can control and what you cannot. You will understand that the therapeutic relationship is a partnership in which you will be expected to put in the effort for homework, be accountable, and present within the counseling alliance.

Hello there!
I’m a cisgender male (he/him) therapist with feminist values, ADHD, motor tics, and a house full of cats. Some might even say too many, but I absolutely disagree!
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Tucker, Georgia. I received my bachelor’s from Emory and my master’s from Mercer. I’ve been working as a therapist for six years, supporting clients of all ages. Lately, I’ve focused on working with adults—especially young adults—as they navigate their journey through life’s complexities.
I work with people facing many of life’s challenges—such as ADHD, anxiety, major life transitions, and relationship struggles—offering a relaxed, collaborative, and person-centered approach. My goal is to create a space where trust and comfort come first, where you can show up fully and without pressure to have it all figured out. You set the pace and direction; I’m here to walk alongside you.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, to mention a few were substance abuse, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, women adjusting to different stages in life, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD plus much more.
My therapy style is client centered focusing on CBT and solution focus. I'm easy to talk to but I'm here to help (you pay me to be honest ;) so shoot my feedback from the hip but share it in a loving manner. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client or family centered, and solution focus. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

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.

What happens during the first therapy session?
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.
