About Me

Dr. Avanti Brown is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing mental health care in Bolivar, Tennessee and Olive Branch, Mississippi through Brown Behavioral Health Services. She specializes in addiction treatment, dual diagnosis, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and a range of psychiatric concerns for individuals age 5 and up. Dr. Brown combines medication management, psychotherapy and various proven approaches to deliver compassionate, comprehensive care that meets clients where they are.

Medication-Assisted Treatment and Dual Diagnosis

Dr. Brown’s core focus is addiction and substance use treatment with an explicit Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program for adults navigating alcohol use, drug use, and co-occurring mental health conditions. As an Addictions Advanced Practice Provider, she brings specialized expertise in MAT and MOUD to support lasting recovery alongside psychiatric stabilization.

Treatment integrates psychiatric evaluation, medication management and psychotherapy using Motivational Interviewing, trauma-focused modalities and structured behavioral interventions. Sessions address both the root causes of addiction and co-occurring issues like anxiety or depression with clear, practical tools to support progress between visits.

Psychiatric Services for All Ages

Beyond addiction, Dr. Brown offers full-spectrum mental health care for children, teens, adults and seniors. Services include ADHD testing, genetic testing, medication management and therapy for mood disorders, psychosis, trauma, and eating disorders, with flexible treatment plans tailored to each client’s developmental stage and goals.
