Doraville's motto—"Diversity, Vitality, Community"—perfectly captures what makes this city special. The legendary Buford Highway corridor serves as the cultural and culinary heart of metro Atlanta's international community, with restaurants, markets, and businesses representing dozens of countries. From the Plaza Fiesta to the Asian Squareshopping centers, Doraville celebrates diversity in ways few American cities can match.
Nearly 56% of Doraville residents speak a language other than English at home, with thriving Latino, Asian, and immigrant communities from around the world. The Doraville MARTA station connects residents to greater Atlanta, while developments on the former GM Assembly Plant site promise exciting changes ahead. Mayor Joseph Geierman's leadership—as the city's first openly LGBTQ+ mayor—reflects Doraville's progressive, inclusive values.
Mental health care in diverse communities requires cultural competence and sensitivity. At Next Step Psychiatry, just 15 minutes from Doraville via Buford Highway, we provide respectful, culturally aware psychiatric services that honor your background, traditions, and unique experiences.
Understanding Mental Health in Doraville's Diverse Community
Immigration & Acculturation Stress
Many Doraville residents have experienced the profound stress of immigration, cultural adjustment, and building new lives far from home. We understand the unique mental health challenges facing immigrant families, including generational differences and cultural identity.
Cultural Stigma Around Mental Health
In many cultures, discussing mental health remains taboo. We provide confidential, respectful care that acknowledges these concerns while helping you get the treatment you deserve. Your privacy and cultural values are always respected.
Small Business Owner Stress
Buford Highway's entrepreneurs face unique pressures—long hours, financial uncertainty, and the weight of supporting family here and abroad. We help business owners manage anxiety, burnout, and depression while maintaining their livelihoods.
Bilingual Family Dynamics
When children become more comfortable in English than their parents' native language, family dynamics shift in ways that can affect mental health. We help families navigate these transitions with cultural sensitivity and understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions from Doraville Patients
Do you have staff who speak languages other than English?
While our primary language is English, we work with patients who speak English as a second language and can accommodate family members who may translate. We also welcome patients who bring their own interpreters and can discuss interpreter services at your first call.
My culture doesn't really believe in psychiatry. Will you understand?
Absolutely. We understand that mental health care isn't universally accepted across all cultures. We take a respectful, educational approach that meets you where you are. We won't push treatments you're uncomfortable with, and we'll explain everything in terms that make sense for your cultural context.
Will my appointment be confidential from my community?
Your privacy is protected by strict healthcare confidentiality laws. We will never share information about your care without your explicit permission. Our location outside the immediate Buford Highway corridor also provides additional privacy for those concerned about running into community members.
Can I take MARTA to your office?
While we're not on a MARTA line, you could take the Gold Line to Doraville and then rideshare (Uber/Lyft) to our office—about 15 minutes and typically under $15. Many patients also use our telepsychiatry option for follow-up appointments to avoid transportation challenges.
Do you understand trauma from immigration or displacement?
Yes. We provide trauma-informed care that acknowledges the profound psychological impact of immigration, displacement, and the challenges of building a new life far from home. We approach these experiences with sensitivity, respect, and clinical expertise.
