What Foundation Psychiatry does

Foundation Psychiatry is a physician-led private psychiatric practice headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, founded by Dr. John Tumeh, a board-certified adult psychiatrist. The practice operates from a single location in Atlanta's Buckhead/Midtown area at 35 Collier Road NW, providing psychiatric services to adults across the metropolitan region. Its clinical team comprises six providers spanning psychiatry, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and a pre-licensed mental health counselor, supported by administrative staff within an 11-50 employee band.

The practice's service portfolio combines traditional psychiatric care — psychotherapy (including CBT, DBT, and trauma processing) and psychopharmacology — with advanced neurotechnology treatments including FDA-approved Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression and OCD, including the accelerated Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) protocol, and SPRAVATO (esketamine) nasal spray administered under clinical supervision. An integrated partnership with Simplify Life Counseling extends coordinated care for OCD patients, combining Foundation Psychiatry's medication management and TMS capability with external Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. The practice uses Valant.io as its EHR/patient portal and Square for payment processing, with telehealth follow-ups supplementing in-person initial consultations.

Foundation Psychiatry operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model, accepting appointments through website requests, phone, and in-person visits. Pricing is transparently disclosed and varies by provider type: psychiatrist initial evaluations are $450 with follow-ups at $225-$300; nurse practitioner and physician assistant visits range from $150-$350; therapy sessions are $100-$185. The practice accepts major insurance networks including Aetna, Optum, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Cigna, with self-pay options and a Medicare opt-out in effect for Dr. Tumeh since 2018. Marketing is concentrated in organic channels including condition-specific SEO, blog content, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and patient testimonials, with no disclosed venture funding, parent company, or institutional ownership.
