✨ Happy Administrative Professionals Week! ✨

This week, we’re celebrating the people who keep everything moving, organized, and running seamlessly behind the scenes—our incredible East Cobb admin team: Ilana, Julia, Michael, and Ryan. 💙

From the very first phone call to the moment a patient walks through our doors, they are the friendly voices, the calming presence, and the steady support that make all the difference. They juggle schedules, solve problems, answer questions, and create an environment where patients feel welcomed, cared for, and truly seen.

At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we talk a lot about healing and support—but none of it would be possible without a team like this holding everything together. Their dedication, compassion, and attention to detail are what allow our providers to focus on delivering life-changing care.

It’s not always the work you see—but it’s the work that matters just as much. And we are beyond grateful for it.

👏 Ilana, Julia, Michael, and Ryan—thank you for being the heart behind our East Cobb office. We appreciate you more than words can say!

If you’ve ever had a great experience with our team, chances are one of them made it happen—help us show them some love in the comments below! 💬

✨ Happy Wednesday (we made it halfway!) ✨

A midweek reminder from our team—take a breath, check in with yourself, and keep going. 💙

Not every day has to be perfect. Some days are just about showing up, doing your best, and finding a small reason to smile—and that’s more than enough.

Dr. Justin and our team are here to remind you that your mental health matters every single day, not just when things feel overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

If you’ve been thinking about taking that first step—this is your sign.

😊 Keep smiling. Keep pushing forward. You’re doing better than you think.

In honor of National Administrative Professionals Week, today we’re proud to recognize the incredible administrative team at our Austell office — Arisma, Elizabeth, Whitney, and Angel.

In an outpatient psychiatry setting, your work goes far beyond the front desk. You are the steady voices on the phone, the welcoming faces our patients trust, and the behind-the-scenes problem solvers who keep everything running smoothly. Your compassion, organization, and dedication help create a safe and supportive environment for every individual who walks through our doors.

Thank you for the care you show our patients, the support you give our providers, and the heart you bring to our team each and every day. We truly couldn’t do this without you!

Myth: Therapy is only for when things fall apart.

Fact: Therapy is also for when you want to grow, heal, and level up.

You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed to take care of your mental health.
Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is choose support before things get heavy.

We all have that one thing we run to when life starts feeling like… a lot.

For some people it’s silence.
For others it’s music, a drive, a walk… or just texting that one person.

And let’s be honest—some days nothing works right away, and that’s real too.

💬 So let’s talk about it…
What’s your go-to when you’re stressed?

✨ As we get ready for the school year to wrap up next month, it’s the perfect time to check in on our kids’ mental health. 🧠💚

Spring isn’t just a season… it’s a reset. 🌿✨

Decluttering your space can do more than just make your home look better — it can have a powerful impact on your mental health. When you clear physical clutter, you create room for clarity, calmness, and focus in your mind.

A clean, organized environment can help reduce stress, improve concentration, boost your mood, and even promote better sleep. Sometimes, the smallest changes in your surroundings can make the biggest difference in how you feel day to day.

Take this as your reminder that it’s okay to slow down, reset, and create a space that supports your well-being — mentally and emotionally. 💙

At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we’re here to support your mental health journey every step of the way.

🐪✨ Hump Day check-in… be honest—are you okay, or just pushing through?

Halfway through the week can feel heavy. Deadlines, responsibilities, life… it adds up. This is your reminder to pause for a second and take care of you too. 🤍

💬 Midweek reset ideas:
• Step outside + get some fresh air ☀️
• Think of 3 things that made you smile today
• Reach out to someone who feels like “home”

You don’t have to wait until burnout to take your mental health seriously.

And if things feel overwhelming—we’re here to help you navigate it, not just push through it. ✨

Our Story

OUR HISTORY

Avant Interventional Psychiatry was founded in 2017 by Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu. Upon moving to the Atlanta area he continued his work with local inpatient hospitals as well as underserved populations in hospitals specializing in psychiatric consults for comorbid and Treatment-Resistant psychiatric disorders. After making the decision to call this community home, he decided that he wanted to take part in making the lives of the people in our area better with a deeper reach towards mental wellness. Throughout his years of work in mental health and particularly with complex and severe mental illness, Dr. Justin realized an interventional piece was needed to bridge the gap in psychiatric treatment. By intervening in the lives of patients before hospitalization and being able to assess the true complexity of their mental health needs we hope to replace years of suffering with more years of healthy living and peace of mind.

ABOUT THE OWNER

Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu received his medical degree from the College of Health Sciences at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife Nigeria. He then moved to the United Kingdom to attend the Royal College of Psychiatry to specialize in Psychiatry. Upon completion of his education in Europe, he moved to the United States and completed his residency at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. Dr. Justin is a board-certified psychiatrist licensed in eight states and is currently a member of the American Psychiatric Association. He specializes in comorbid and Treatment-Resistant psychiatric disorders. He founded Avant Behavioral Consultants in 2017 which now operates as Avant Interventional Psychiatry, an outpatient private practice specializing in: treatment resistant psychiatric services, tele-psychiatry, therapy/counseling sessions, substance abuse treatment [and/or suboxone therapy], and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy.
