Cody M. Browning, MD

Dr. Cody M. Browning is a board certified psychiatrist specializing in the treatment of Substance Misuse and Abuse. He is the owner and founder of Chastain Psychiatry in Atlanta, Georgia.

A native of the Midwest, Dr. Browning has had the opportunity to live in many different states and cultural areas across the United States. He is happy to have now called the Southeast ‘home’ for over a decade. This eclectic upbringing instilled a passion for connecting with others. Considered to have an empathetic and calming approach by his patients, Dr. Browning believes in meeting each individual on their terms. He seeks to foster a genuine connection with his patients and finds that keeping a curious mind can help to reveal common patterns of interpersonal interactions, thoughts, and behaviors through a psychodynamic and supportive approach.

His practice, Chastain Psychiatry, was created with the mission of providing psychiatric care of exceptional quality for its patients. He works to structure multiple systems of support for his patients through connection with new technology, subspecialists, therapists, groups, testing resources, and by rallying family and social support. The biological understanding of mental illness—the specific neural pathways and brain regions involved in the development of depression, anxiety, and addiction—is a rapidly growing area and one in which Dr. Browning is especially interested. That said, the mind is seemingly infinite in its complexity, and he believes it equally important that the human psychological and social experience are integrated into our understanding of mental wellness and disease to round out a multi-dimensional approach to care.
