Psychiatric Care Rooted in Community — Just Like Tucker
Tucker's story began in 1892 when the first train steamed into the new railroad station, and the community has been building ever since. From the historic Brownings Courthouse to the vibrant Main Street district, Tucker has evolved into one of DeKalb County's most desirable communities — a place where history meets modern living.
Whether you live near Henderson Park, shop at the Northlake Mall area, or enjoy the diverse restaurants along LaVista Road, Next Step Psychiatry understands the unique character of Tucker. Our Lilburn office is just 15 minutes up Lawrenceville Highway — close enough for convenient access, far enough to maintain your privacy.

Mental Health Needs in Tucker's Diverse Community
Tucker's 37,000+ residents represent one of Metro Atlanta's most diverse communities. Since becoming an incorporated city in 2016, Tucker has taken control of its own destiny — and mental health care should be no different. Yet accessing quality psychiatric services in DeKalb County can be challenging, with long wait times and limited availability.
Many Tucker residents face the daily stress of commuting into Atlanta, managing careers while raising families, and navigating life transitions. The pandemic heightened mental health awareness in our community, and we've seen increased demand for services treating anxiety, depression, and ADHD — conditions that affect people of all backgrounds.
At Next Step Psychiatry, we're committed to providing timely, accessible care for Tucker residents. No months-long waiting lists. No impersonal care. Just expert psychiatric treatment when you need it.
