We understand how important mental health is to your overall well-being. Your mental and emotional health can affect every part of your life, so it’s important to get support when you need it.

Mental illness includes a wide range of conditions that can affect how you feel, think, and act. If not treated, these issues can lower your quality of life, hurt your relationships, and even lead to other health problems. The good news is that many mental health conditions can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, and other safe treatments.

Our team, including board-certified doctor, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants are trained to screen, diagnose, and treat common mental health issues like depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and panic attacks. We also check for some of these conditions during your regular physical exam.

Your visit

What to expect

How a typical visit runs, from check-in to your plan.

  1. 01

    A private conversation

    Tell your provider what you’ve been experiencing — mood, worry, sleep, energy — and how it affects daily life.

  2. 02

    Screening & evaluation

    We may use short questionnaires and review your health and medications, since physical conditions can affect mood and sleep.

  3. 03

    A plan together

    Options can include lifestyle changes, medication when appropriate, and referral to a therapist or counselor.

  4. 04

    Follow-up

    We check in on how you’re doing and adjust your plan. Some medications require regular in-person visits.

Before you book

Questions about appointments

Have questions about scheduling or what to expect? Here are answers to common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.

Are these services the same as therapy?

Not exactly. Our mental health visits are usually shorter and more focused than a traditional therapy session. If we think you would benefit from seeing a licensed therapist or counselor, we can refer you to someone who can help.

Will my insurance cover mental health services?

That depends on your insurance plan. Some services may be fully covered, especially if they are part of your regular physical exam. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to know exactly what’s included.

Can you prescribe medication for anxiety or depression?

When it’s appropriate, yes. Your provider will talk through the options, benefits and side effects with you. Some medications, such as controlled medications, require regular in-person follow-up visits.

Is what I share kept private?

Yes. Your visit is a confidential conversation with your provider, and your health information is protected by federal privacy law.

Do you offer telehealth for mental health?

Telehealth visits are available when they’re right for your care. Some visits and medications require an in-person appointment.

How do I know if I should get help?

If low mood, worry or poor sleep lasts more than two weeks or gets in the way of daily life, it’s a good time to talk to us. Getting care early gives you the best chance of feeling better sooner.

Which location should I choose?

Whichever is more convenient for you. Our Buford and Alpharetta offices follow the same standard of care, and our team is happy to help you choose when you call.
