The Physician

Maryann Priya Jacob, MD

Dr. Jacob is a dual board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist with more than twenty years of clinical experience. She served as an Assistant Professor at Emory University and as a consultation-liaison psychiatrist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, caring for medically complex patients alongside multidisciplinary teams.

Her clinical work is grounded in an integrative model: medication is used deliberately and monitored closely, as one part of a plan that includes therapy, family involvement, and coordination with the patient's broader care team.

More About Dr. Jacob
Good psychiatric care requires more than a prescription. It requires understanding the whole patient — the family, the school, the medical history, the life around the symptoms. Maryann Priya Jacob, MD
New Patients

What to expect.

A clear, deliberate start — so you know what the first several weeks will look like.

1

Inquiry & intake

Send a request or call the office. We confirm clinical fit, walk through the out-of-network structure, and schedule your evaluation.

2

Diagnostic evaluation

A comprehensive visit of up to 90 minutes, occasionally across two sessions, including collateral information and a formulated diagnosis and treatment plan.

3

Ongoing management

Follow-up visits, typically monthly, to assess response and adjust treatment — with continued coordination across your care team.

Fees & Insurance

Transparent, out-of-network.

Guiding Minds Psychiatry does not bill insurance directly. This structure preserves longer appointments and keeps clinical decisions between physician and patient.

Payment is due at the time of service, and fees are published here in full — so there are no surprises at any point in your care.

Superbill provided. After each visit you receive an itemized Superbill with everything an insurer requires. Many patients submit it for out-of-network reimbursement under their plan's mental health benefit.
