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.

You are capable, driven, and accustomed to being the person others rely on. From the outside, your life may look successful. Privately, you may feel anxious, depleted, unusually self-critical, or unsure how much longer you can keep performing at this pace. Perhaps a transition, setback, promotion, relationship change, or growing visibility has unsettled strategies that once worked well. This work is not about becoming less ambitious. It's about working, leading, creating, and living with more freedom.

My professional commitment is to guide individuals toward healing and resilience in the aftermath of distress and trauma. I understand that the profound impact of such experiences can lead to debilitating anxiety, social isolation, and a loss of engagement with life. I strive to empower clients to reclaim their well-being by reducing anxiety, fostering renewed connection with the world, and strengthening interpersonal relationships. This is achieved through the development of adaptive coping strategies, the cultivation of positive experiences, and the exploration of cognitive patterns.

Are you looking to better understand yourself and your relationships? Are you curious about the patterns that keep showing up in your life? Do you want to learn how to better navigate life’s changes?
Together, you and I can explore what therapy means to you, and how your past experiences shape who you are today. Your internal narratives - how you experience yourself and the world - are often supported by unconscious thoughts and emotions. This unconsciousness could be inadvertently keeping you stuck. As you bring your unconscious into awareness, new possibilities for choice and change become possible.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
