Smyrna Psychiatrist — Mental Wellness for the Jonquil City
Compassionate psychiatric care for one of metro Atlanta's fastest-growing communities. Same-day appointments and telepsychiatry available.
Serving Smyrna: From Covered Bridges to Cobb Galleria
Smyrna has transformed from a small railroad town into one of metro Atlanta's most desirable communities. Known as "The Jonquil City" for the golden flowers that bloom each spring, Smyrna blends Southern charm with urban accessibility. The historic Ruff's Mill covered bridge stands as a reminder of the past, while the bustling Market Village and nearby Cumberland district point to the future.
With over 55,000 residents and growing, Smyrna attracts young professionals drawn to its walkable downtown, families seeking excellent schools, and creatives working at nearby studios. Its location at the crossroads of I-285 and I-75—adjacent to the Cumberland edge city and Cobb Galleria—makes it accessible yet distinct from Atlanta proper.
Next Step Psychiatry proudly serves Smyrna residents from our Lilburn office, approximately 35-40 minutes east via I-285. We also offer telepsychiatry for convenient care without the cross-town commute. From Vinings to Smyrna Heights, we're here for you.

Mental Health Matters in Smyrna's Growing Community
Smyrna has grown by 28% since 2000, making it one of Georgia's fastest-growing cities. This rapid change brings excitement—new restaurants on Spring Street, the redeveloped Jonquil district, growing arts scene—but also stress. Rising housing costs, traffic congestion, and the pace of change can overwhelm longtime residents and newcomers alike.
The city's proximity to major employers in Cumberland, Vinings, and Atlanta means many Smyrna residents commute long hours, leaving little time for self-care. Young professionals moving to Smyrna's trendy apartments may find themselves isolated from family support networks. Parents juggling work and raising children in the competitive Cobb County school system face their own pressures.
Smyrna's history as a Civil War site (Battle of Smyrna Camp Ground) and its small-town roots create a community that values resilience and self-reliance. But seeking help for depression, anxiety, or ADHD isn't weakness—it's the modern equivalent of strength. We provide care that honors your independence while giving you the support you need.

Why Smyrna Residents Choose Next Step Psychiatry
Fast Appointments When You Need Them
Cobb County psychiatrists often have weeks-long waits. We frequently offer same-day or same-week availability. When you finally decide to get help, waiting shouldn't be required.
Telepsychiatry Beats the Perimeter
Let's be honest—driving from Smyrna to Lilburn via I-285 isn't anyone's favorite activity. That's why most of our Smyrna patients choose video appointments. Same great care, zero traffic frustration.
We Understand Transitions
Many Smyrna residents are new to the area or going through major life changes—new jobs, new relationships, new parenthood. We specialize in helping people navigate transitions while building mental resilience.
All Ages Welcome
From kids at Smyrna Elementary to teens at Campbell or King Springs, young professionals in apartment complexes, and parents in family homes—we treat the whole spectrum of Smyrna's diverse population.
Questions from Smyrna Patients
Is it really worth driving from Smyrna to Lilburn for psychiatric care?
It depends on your preference. For initial evaluations and SPRAVATO™ treatments, in-person visits are required. But for ongoing medication management, most Smyrna patients choose telepsychiatry—it's faster, more convenient, and equally effective. The drive is worth it if local providers have long waits or don't offer the specialized care you need.
I work at the Cobb Galleria area. Can I do a telepsychiatry appointment during lunch?
Absolutely! Many of our Smyrna-area patients take 30-minute video appointments from their car, an empty conference room, or their office with the door closed. You just need a private space and a device with a camera. It fits easily into a lunch break.
Do you treat young adults who just moved to Smyrna after college?
Yes, and this is a population we know well. The transition from college structure to "real adult life" can trigger anxiety, depression, or reveal ADHD that college accommodated but work doesn't. We help young professionals build the mental health foundation for a successful life.
My child attends Cobb County schools. Can you help with school-related issues?
Yes. We evaluate and treat children and adolescents, including for ADHD, anxiety, and depression that affect school performance. We can provide documentation for 504 plans and coordinate with school counselors. Many Smyrna parents come to us after concerns are raised by teachers.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept most major insurance plans. Since Smyrna residents work for a wide range of employers, we recommend calling our office at 678-437-1659 to verify your specific plan before scheduling.
