Mental Health Care for Woodstock's Thriving Community
Named after Sir Walter Scott's 1826 novel, Woodstock has grown from a small railroad stop to become one of the fastest-growing cities in America. The charming Downtown Woodstock district with its restaurants, shops, and the historic Woodstock Depot represents everything people love about this community — but rapid growth has outpaced mental health resources in Cherokee County.
Whether you live near Dupree Park, the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, or one of the beautiful neighborhoods off Highway 92, quality psychiatric care shouldn't require months of waiting. Next Step Psychiatry serves Woodstock families with flexible options: in-person appointments at our Lilburn office (45 minutes via I-575/I-285/I-85) or convenient telepsychiatry from home.

The Mental Health Gap in Cherokee County
Woodstock's population has exploded — from around 10,000 in 2000 to over 35,000 today, with an estimated 39,000+ in 2024. This 300%+ growth means more families need psychiatric services, but the supply of mental health providers hasn't kept pace. Cherokee County residents often face:
- Long wait times for new patient appointments (sometimes 2-3 months)
- Limited specialists for conditions like ADHD and treatment-resistant depression
- Few providers accepting new patients
- Lack of advanced treatments like SPRAVATO™ locally
Woodstock families are achievers — you work hard, invest in your community, and expect quality. Your mental health care should meet those same standards. That's why many Cherokee County residents choose to come to Next Step Psychiatry or connect with us via telepsychiatry.

Frequently Asked Questions from Woodstock Patients
How long is the drive from Woodstock to your Lilburn office?
Our office is approximately 45 minutes from downtown Woodstock via I-575 to I-285 to I-85. However, many Woodstock patients prefer our telepsychiatry option, which eliminates the drive entirely while providing the same quality care.
Do you offer telepsychiatry for Cherokee County patients?
Yes! Telepsychiatry is especially popular with our Woodstock patients. After an initial in-person evaluation (which can often be done via video as well), most follow-up appointments can be conducted virtually from the comfort of your home.
Why do Woodstock families choose your practice instead of local options?
Cherokee County has limited psychiatric providers, leading to long wait times. We offer appointments typically within 1-2 weeks, same-day availability when needed, and specialized services like SPRAVATO™ that aren't widely available in the area.
Do you treat children from the Woodstock area?
Yes, we treat patients ages 5 and up. Many Cherokee County families come to us for ADHD evaluations and treatment when local wait times are too long. We understand the urgency of getting children the help they need.
What insurance plans do you accept for Woodstock patients?
We accept most major insurance plans common to Cherokee County employers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare/Medicaid.
Is it worth driving 45 minutes for psychiatric care?
Many patients tell us yes — especially given our shorter wait times, specialized services, and telepsychiatry options for follow-ups. You might only need to make the drive once or twice before transitioning to virtual care.
