As the front desk at our Austell location, Elizabeth is the energy, the first impression, and the reason so many of our patients feel instantly welcomed and at ease. From the moment you walk in, she brings warmth, positivity, and a level of care that truly sets the tone for the entire Avant experience.
She doesn’t just do her job—she goes above and beyond every single day for both our patients and our team. Her dedication, compassion, and unmatched work ethic do not go unnoticed… and this recognition is MORE than well deserved.
Elizabeth, you are such a huge part of what makes Avant special 💙 We appreciate you more than you know!

🐣🌸 Easter Weekend Vibes 🌸🐣
Holidays are a beautiful reminder to slow down, be present, and enjoy the little moments that matter most 💛
Whether you’re spending time with family, creating memories with your kids, or just taking a moment for yourself—don’t forget that your mental health matters too. Give yourself permission to rest, recharge, and step away when you need it.
And as you celebrate, remember to stay safe, be mindful, and take care of both your physical and emotional well-being.
From all of us at Avant, we’re wishing you a happy, safe, and joy-filled Easter weekend 🐰✨

Today, we honor the men behind the mission — the ones changing lives in ways most people never see 💙
Our Owner & Founder, Dr. Okah “Justin” Anyokwu, and Dr. Lawrence Kuhn, are more than physicians — they are advocates, listeners, and leaders in the fight for mental wellness.
Every day, they show up for patients navigating some of their hardest moments… offering not just treatment, but real hope, understanding, and a path forward.
The work they do doesn’t always get the spotlight — but the impact is life-changing.
And that deserves to be celebrated.
Thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and the difference you make in so many lives.
Happy National Doctors’ Day 🧠✨

Game faces on ⚾️🧠
Our team showed up in our favorite jerseys today to celebrate Opening Day for the Atlanta Braves — because just like baseball, mental health is all about showing up, staying consistent, and playing the long game.
Some days you’re hitting home runs. Some days you’re just getting through the inning. Both matter.
Taking care of your mental health isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present, checking in with yourself, and having the right support team behind you.
If you’ve been feeling off lately, you don’t have to sit on the sidelines. We’re here to help you get back in the game 🤍

Taking care of your mind doesn’t have to be overwhelming — it’s often the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference 🤍
Sleep, nutrition, movement, and how you manage stress all play a role in how you feel day to day. When even one of those is off, you feel it — mentally and physically.
If you’ve been feeling off lately, more anxious, more drained, or just not like yourself… it might be time to take a closer look at what your mind and body are trying to tell you.
You don’t have to push through it alone. Support is here when you need it.

If your sleep is off… your mood probably is too. 😴
Lying awake at night Waking up at 3 AM and can’t fall back asleep Racing thoughts that just won’t slow down
It’s exhausting — mentally and physically.
And the truth is, it’s not something you have to just “push through.”
When your mind doesn’t get the rest it needs, everything feels harder the next day — your mood, your focus, your energy. 🧠
If this sounds like you, it might be time to talk to someone.
At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we’re here to help you quiet your mind and get back to feeling like yourself again.

Sometimes we get so used to pushing through that we forget to check in with ourselves.
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just not like yourself lately? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Talking to someone can make a real difference.
At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we’re here to support you 🤍

☕️ 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.
👇 Tell us in the comments:
☕ Coffee or 🍵 Tea
AND: Morning drink or evening drink?
We’re curious what helps you recharge.

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.
📍 East Cobb 📍 South Atlanta 📍 Austell
📞 Call 770-694-6349 to schedule an appointment.
Because the person who carries everything deserves support too.

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.
