Understanding Brookhaven's Mental Health Needs
Young Professional Stress
Brookhaven attracts young professionals drawn to its urban lifestyle and proximity to Buckhead and Midtown employers. The pressure to build careers while affording rising housing costs creates unique anxiety and depression challenges we frequently address.
Urban Living Isolation
Despite being surrounded by neighbors, many Brookhaven residents experience loneliness. The paradox of urban isolation—busy schedules, transient populations, and digital-first socializing—contributes to depression and social anxiety.
Diverse Community Needs
Brookhaven's multicultural population—including established residents and recent arrivals—brings varied cultural perspectives on mental health. We provide culturally sensitive care that respects different backgrounds while offering evidence-based treatment.
Family Transition Support
Many Brookhaven families are navigating life transitions—new babies, school decisions, caring for aging parents. We support the whole family through these challenging periods with comprehensive psychiatric care for all ages.

Why Brookhaven Residents Choose Next Step Psychiatry
Quick Access with Same-Day Appointments
When you're struggling, waiting weeks for an appointment isn't acceptable. We offer same-day appointments for new patients, getting you the help you need without the typical delays that make seeking care feel impossible.
Easy Commute Against Traffic
Our Lilburn location means you'll be driving against the typical I-85 traffic pattern. Most Brookhaven patients report the drive is faster and less stressful than navigating to providers inside the Perimeter during peak hours.
Free, Convenient Parking
Unlike many ITP psychiatrists with meter parking or paid decks, we offer free parking directly outside our office. No circling blocks, no feeding meters during your appointment.
Privacy Outside Your Neighborhood
In close-knit communities like Brookhaven, some patients prefer receiving care where they won't run into neighbors in the waiting room. Our location provides the confidentiality many residents value.

Frequently Asked Questions from Brookhaven Patients
Why should I drive to Lilburn when there are psychiatrists in Brookhaven?
Many Brookhaven residents choose us because we offer same-day appointments, significantly shorter wait times for new patients, and specialized treatments like SPRAVATO™ that aren't widely available. Plus, the drive is often faster than navigating Buckhead or Midtown traffic.
Can I use MARTA to get to your office?
Unfortunately, direct MARTA service doesn't reach our Lilburn location. However, we offer telepsychiatry for follow-up appointments, which many Brookhaven patients use after their initial in-person evaluation.
Do you treat depression that hasn't responded to other medications?
Yes—we specialize in treatment-resistant depression and are a certified SPRAVATO™ treatment center. Many patients who haven't found relief with traditional antidepressants experience significant improvement with this FDA-approved therapy.
What ages do you treat?
We see patients ages 5 and up, making us a great option for Brookhaven families. Parents and children can receive coordinated care from the same practice, simplifying family mental health management.
How do I know if I need a psychiatrist versus a therapist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication and diagnose conditions. If you suspect you may need medication for depression, anxiety, ADHD, or another condition—or if therapy alone isn't enough—a psychiatric evaluation is the right first step. We can also coordinate with your existing therapist.
