Serving the Cobb County Seat & Historic District
Psychiatrist for Marietta—From the Square to Kennesaw Mountain
Expert mental health care for metro Atlanta's fourth-largest city. Same-day appointments available, just 35 minutes from Marietta Square.
Mental Health Care for Marietta's 60,000+ Residents
From the historic fountain on Marietta Square to the battlefields of Kennesaw Mountain, Marietta seamlessly blends Southern history with suburban prosperity. As the Cobb County seat since 1834, this city of over 60,000 has survived Civil War battles, multiple fires, and emerged as one of metro Atlanta's most desirable communities.
Whether you live in the charming neighborhoods near the Square, the affluent enclaves of East Cobb, the growing communities around Kennesaw State University, or anywhere across Marietta's 23 square miles—mental health challenges don't discriminate. The pressure of high-performing schools, demanding careers at Lockheed Martin and WellStar, and the expectations of "having it together" in a prosperous area can take a serious toll.
Marietta has excellent healthcare options, but psychiatric care often has long wait times. Our Lilburn office provides an accessible alternative—expert treatment without the 6-week waitlists that frustrate so many seeking help.

Understanding Marietta's Mental Health Needs
High-Achieving Stress
Marietta's top-rated schools (Wheeler, Walton, Lassiter) create intense academic pressure. Parents and students alike struggle with perfectionism, college anxiety, and burnout. The expectation to excel is relentless.
Corporate & Defense Pressure
Lockheed Martin, WellStar, and Cobb County government employ thousands. High-stakes careers bring deadline stress, security clearance concerns, and the anxiety of maintaining position in competitive fields.
Hidden Struggles in Affluence
East Cobb and similar affluent areas can mask depression and anxiety behind perfect lawns. Stigma prevents many from seeking help—"I should have it all together." We provide confidential care that respects your privacy.
Long Wait Times Locally
Popular Marietta psychiatrists often have 4-8 week wait lists. When you're struggling with depression or anxiety, waiting that long isn't acceptable. We offer faster access to quality care.

FAQs from Marietta Patients
Why would I drive 35 minutes when there are psychiatrists in Marietta?
Availability. Most Marietta psychiatrists have 4-8 week waitlists. We typically see new patients in 1-2 weeks, with same-day options for urgent needs. When you're struggling, faster is better.
I have a security clearance at Lockheed—will seeing a psychiatrist affect it?
Seeking mental health treatment does NOT automatically affect your clearance. In fact, getting help for issues like depression or anxiety demonstrates responsibility. We understand clearance concerns and can provide appropriate documentation.
My child at Wheeler High is struggling with anxiety—do you treat teens?
Yes. We treat adolescents (typically 13+) for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other conditions. Academic pressure in Marietta's competitive schools is something we address regularly.
Can I do telepsychiatry to avoid the commute?
Absolutely. After your initial in-person evaluation, many follow-up appointments can be done via secure video. Perfect for busy professionals who can't always make the drive.
Do you accept WellStar employee insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans including those commonly offered by Cobb County employers. Call us with your specific plan and we'll verify coverage before your visit.
