☕️ Thursday Brain Break 🍵

We spend a lot of time talking about mental health here at Avant, but sometimes supporting your mind can be as simple as taking a moment for yourself.

A quiet morning.
A warm drink.
A small pause in your day.
So we want to know…

Are you team coffee or team tea?
Coffee lovers say it helps them feel focused and energized.

Tea lovers say it helps them slow down and reset.
Both can be part of a healthy routine and small daily rituals that support your mental well-being.

Morning drink or evening drink?

Women are expected to carry everything. 💛

The career.
The family.
The emotional support for everyone else.
The invisible mental load no one talks about.

And somehow… still keep it all together.

But the truth is, many women are silently dealing with anxiety, burnout, hormonal changes, ADHD, and overwhelming stress — often feeling like they just have to push through. 💙

You don’t have to carry it all alone.

At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we’re here to support you. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, anxious, or like you’re constantly pouring into everyone else without support of your own, it may be time to talk to someone.

We are currently accepting new patients and would be honored to walk alongside you in your mental health journey.

We asked Jolie Smith, PA-C, from our South Atlanta location, what helps her recharge and take care of her mental health after a busy day of caring for patients. Sometimes the smallest habits can make the biggest difference when it comes to protecting your peace.

Now we want to hear from you 👇
�What’s one thing that helps you mentally reset after a long day?

Your answer might help someone else who’s having a tough day.

And if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or struggling with your mental health, you don’t have to go through it alone. Our team at Avant is here to help.

💛 Let’s talk about self-love…

Everyone talks about self-love, but what does it actually look like in real life?
For some people it’s rest.
For others it’s boundaries.
For many… it’s finally deciding to talk to someone and get support.

Self-love can be choosing your mental health.
Self-love can be asking for help.
Self-love can be starting therapy or exploring new treatment options.

At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we believe caring for your mind is one of the strongest acts of self-love.

Mental health isn’t always about big changes — sometimes it’s the small things that help us reset, breathe, and keep going.

✨ A short walk
✨ Listening to music
✨ Calling someone you trust
✨ Taking a quiet moment for yourself

We want to hear from you 👇
What’s one small thing that helps your mental health on hard days?

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.
