Sandy Springs Psychiatrist — Caring for Georgia's Corporate Hub
Expert psychiatric care for the professionals, families, and individuals who call Sandy Springs home. Same-day appointments and telepsychiatry available.
Mental Health Services for Sandy Springs' Dynamic Community
Sandy Springs is where corporate Atlanta meets residential comfort. With over 108,000 residents, it's Georgia's seventh-largest city—home to the headquarters of UPS, Cox Enterprises, Inspire Brands, and Mercedes-Benz USA. The iconic "King and Queen" towers of the Concourse define the skyline, while the Chattahoochee River provides natural beauty along the city's eastern edge.
From the high-rises of Perimeter Center to the established neighborhoods of Riverside, Powers Ferry, and Mount Vernon, Sandy Springs residents balance demanding careers with the desire for suburban quality of life. The new City Springs district, with its performing arts center and civic green, reflects a community investing in its future.
Next Step Psychiatry serves Sandy Springs from our Lilburn office, approximately 25-30 minutes east via I-285. We also offer telepsychiatry—ideal for busy professionals who can't step away from the Perimeter office park for long.

The Mental Health Landscape in Sandy Springs
Sandy Springs presents a paradox: a city of tremendous resources and opportunity, yet significant mental health needs. The concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters creates a high-pressure professional environment. Executives, managers, and ambitious employees work long hours, often sacrificing personal wellbeing for career advancement.
The city's diversity adds complexity. Sandy Springs has welcomed immigrants and international professionals who may face unique stressors—cultural adjustment, family separation, and navigating a new healthcare system. Meanwhile, longtime residents experience the rapid transformation of their community.
Despite excellent insurance coverage through major employers, many Sandy Springs residents delay seeking mental health treatment. Stigma persists in competitive corporate cultures, and the perception that "everyone here has it together" can make asking for help feel shameful. We understand these dynamics and provide confidential, compassionate care.

Questions from Sandy Springs Patients
I work at Perimeter Center. Is telepsychiatry really practical from my office?
Absolutely. Many of our Sandy Springs patients take telepsychiatry appointments from their office (with the door closed), car in the parking deck, or a quiet conference room. You just need a private space, a smartphone or laptop, and 30-45 minutes. It's more practical than driving anywhere.
Will my employer find out I'm seeing a psychiatrist?
No. Your medical records are protected by HIPAA and cannot be shared with your employer. Insurance claims show on your personal benefits, but detailed records are not accessible to your company. We take confidentiality extremely seriously.
I've been compensating for ADHD my whole career. Why would I get diagnosed now?
Many successful professionals have ADHD—their intelligence masked the symptoms for years. But as careers advance, demands exceed compensatory strategies. Treatment isn't about labeling; it's about giving you tools to perform at your best without burning out. It's often life-changing for high achievers who finally understand why certain things have always been harder.
I need a psychiatrist who won't try to slow me down or change my personality.
We hear this often from Sandy Springs executives. Our goal is to help you function better, not to change who you are. If you're ambitious, driven, and love your career, treatment should support that—not undermine it. We're not here to tell you to "work less." We're here to help you work (and live) more sustainably.
What if I need medication that might affect my work performance?
We discuss this openly. Cognitive side effects matter when your job requires sharp thinking. We choose medications thoughtfully, start conservatively, and adjust based on real-world feedback. Many psychiatric medications have no cognitive impact at all—and untreated mental health conditions often affect work performance far more than treatment does.
