Psychiatric Evaluation in Marietta
Cobb County holds three quarters of a million people between the Square, the Battery, and Dobbins, with psychiatric capacity that would strain a county half its size. Waits run months, and the drive to Atlanta clinics adds the Connector to an already hard day. What changes that is a real evaluation: a full clinical hour that ends in answers. shrinkMD delivers it to Marietta by secure video, as soon as availability allows, from board certified clinicians.

Why shrinkMD
Made to fit life in Marietta
From the Square to east Cobb to Kennesaw, visits happen by video from home or office, with aerospace and defense schedules at Dobbins and Lockheed treated as normal scheduling inputs.
We bill no insurance, which keeps care out of every database that worries clearance holders, with flat published fees and one consistent clinician.
What's included
The evaluation, start to finish
Before the visit, you gather the short list that sharpens everything: current medications, your pharmacy, and any past psychiatric medications with dose, duration, and response. The appointment itself runs 45 to 60 minutes by secure video, covering your history, screening tools, medical contributors, and goals, in plain conversation rather than interrogation.
By the end you know three things: what this is, what we recommend, and what to expect in the first six weeks. Validated scores from this visit become the baseline every follow up is measured against, prescriptions go to your pharmacy the same day when indicated, and therapy is coordinated when it strengthens the plan. The next appointment is on the calendar before you close the laptop.

Care and next steps in Marietta
Frequently asked questions
Good questions, clear answers
I hold a clearance; will treatment records surface?
Our cash pay model keeps care out of insurer databases entirely, and adjudicative guidance treats voluntarily seeking care as responsible self management.
Do you see teachers and nurses on school and hospital calendars?
Yes, with early and evening slots and 15 to 30 minute follow ups that fit planning periods and shift gaps.
What if I need more than telehealth can provide?
Then we tell you plainly and help arrange the right level of care. Knowing our limits is part of the clinical standard, not an exception to it.
Will I get a diagnosis at the first visit?
Usually yes, a working diagnosis and plan the same day. When something genuinely needs more information or records first, we say exactly what and why.
What should I have ready for the appointment?
Current medications and doses, your pharmacy, any past diagnoses, and most importantly every psychiatric medication you have tried with dose, duration, and response. That history guides everything.
