Meet Our Founders: RJ Thaxton
RJ Thaxton is the Founder and Director of Atlanta Wellness Collective, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, husband, girl dad, and amateur chef. After practicing counseling in Cobb County since 2016, RJ was inspired to found Atlanta Wellness Collective with his wife and fellow professional counselor, Dr. Nicole Thaxton.
RJ has a reputation as a clinician for creating a non-judgmental space to process, heal, and grow. He is also known for helping clients who are already doing well but who want to go further faster through life and leadership coaching.
“When I work with coaching or counseling clients, my goal is to create an environment for us to explore your past, see how it has impacted your present, and then create a future of a life well lived. No matter how tough or challenging your past was, it doesn’t dictate your future.”
RJ completed his Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta and his Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Computer Science at Berry College. Prior to becoming a counselor and opening Atlanta Wellness Collective, RJ worked in finance and business for 10 years. His passion for community and holistic wellness empowers him and his team to continue to create safe and approachable spaces for personal growth and mental wellness across the Atlanta area.
