YOU DESERVE INFORMED, PERSONALIZED, INDIVIDUAL AND INNOVATIVE CARE
Psych Atlanta, with locations in Marietta and Roswell, Georgia, is a leading outpatient psychiatric practice serving the communities north of Atlanta. Michael Banov, MD, leads the team of board-certified psychiatrists and fellowship-trained advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) who provide comprehensive adult psychiatric services for conditions including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, as well as addiction.
The team of experienced mental health clinicians at Psych Atlanta are familiar with traditional treatments for most conditions as well as the cutting-edge psychiatric developments for complex and difficult to treat cases.
For example, in addition to providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans that take a holistic approach, Psych Atlanta offers Nuerostar TMS and innovative ketamine therapy, including ketamine infusion therapy, oral ketamine, and Spravato® — an intranasal ketamine spray. Patients also benefit from supplements, including vitamin B12 shots and CBD oils.
At Psych Atlanta, patients have the option of receiving concierge psychiatric services in its modern, beautiful offices, designed to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. The concierge approach allows patients to spend more time with their doctor and ensures that they can see their provider when they need to instead of waiting for an appointment. This approach provides improved privacy and personalized care, which leads to better patient outcomes.
Additionally, Dr. Banov conducts clinical research studies at Psych Atlanta. Participation is optional and at each patient’s discretion. However, this work puts Psych Atlanta at the cutting edge of psychiatric care and ensures that all patients receive the best possible treatments.
At Psych Atlanta, every patient receives highly customized, innovative care aimed at helping them get well. The team applies an integrative, patient-focused approach to psychiatric care, creating multidisciplinary treatment plans designed to improve overall health while also addressing mental health conditions.

Dr. Banov discusses his concerns and cautions regarding the flurry of over promises around psychedelics as potential treatments for a variety of mental health conditions including treatment resistant depression and anxiety.
Dr. Banov discusses the controversial issue of off-label use of treatments for mental health conditions such as ketamine. While the FDA has not approved ketamine for mood and anxiety, we have decades of clinical experience to show it works and is safe.
Ketamine has been shown to be a rapid and effective treatment for an acute depressive episode but what about its' effectiveness in preventing a depression relapse? Can and should ketamine be used as a maintenance depression therapy? Is ketamine a cure?
