Omobolaji Oluseyi Oyebanjo Popoola
Psychiatrist, MD, ABPN, ABPM
Villa Rica, GA 30180
I also completed further training in Global Mental Health, with focus on trauma in women and children from Harvard School of Medicine.
The mind set of a man determines the outcome of his life and the quality of relationships he enjoys. Hence the need for us to guard and nurture our minds with the best of cutting edge science and faith tools. My philosophy is that whatever affects your thinking, affects your life, your relationships, your God-given potential and ultimately your contributions to the society at large, the world needs you and we can't afford to miss out on your contribution to life! I am of the strong belief that not every disorder requires medications. Hence only after a thorough objective medical work up, will I consider a variety of treatments.

Mallory Drake
Physician Assistant, PA
Norcross, GA 30092
My passion for mental health began during my physician assistant training at the University of South Alabama, where a rural psychiatric rotation opened my eyes to the importance of accessible care. After practicing family medicine and helping patients begin their mental health journeys, I pursued a career in psychiatry to better meet the growing need for compassionate, informed support. I believe mental health care is not a luxury, but an essential part of living a fulfilling life.

FAQ - About Child Psychiatry
What does a child psychiatrist do?
Child psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions in children and adolescents. They support children and their families in navigating a wide range of challenges related to growing up, including academic difficulties, peer-related stress or bullying, family transitions such as divorce, and mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or ADHD. Treatment often includes age-appropriate therapy and, when appropriate, medication. Child psychiatrists also frequently collaborate with other professionals involved in a child’s care—such as therapists, pediatricians, teachers, or occupational therapists—to ensure a coordinated approach. They may also conduct developmental or psychological assessments to clarify diagnoses or determine the most effective treatment plan for a child. While child psychiatrists may see patients of any age under 18, many focus on specific developmental stages, such as the toddler years or adolescence.

How to find a child psychiatrist
Psychology Today’s online directory allows users to search for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with children. The platform also offers additional filters to help you find a provider with relevant specialty areas who sees patients in your child’s age group. Each provider profile includes detailed information such as therapeutic approach, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. These details can help you evaluate whether a provider is a good match for your child’s needs and developmental stage.
