Welcome to STARS Integrative Care With TMS
A Safe Place That Harbors Hope & Healing

What if one practice could address your mental health, your physical health, and your overall wellness—all under one roof, with providers who truly know your full story? That is exactly why STARS Integrative Care with TMS was built. |
Most people have experienced what fragmented healthcare feels like. You see your primary care doctor for your blood pressure, a separate psychiatrist for your anxiety, and perhaps a third provider for your weight—and none of them talk to each other. Your medications may conflict. Your treatment plans may contradict. And you are left doing the work of connecting the dots yourself.
STARS Integrative Care with TMS was founded specifically to solve that problem. Located in the heart of Suwanee, Georgia, at 4330 Johns Creek Parkway, we are a modern, patient-centered practice that brings psychiatry, TMS therapy, esketamine treatment, primary care, medical weight management, and IV hydration therapy together under a single, coordinated roof—with two board-certified physicians who work alongside each other every day. This is not just a practice. It is a philosophy. And that philosophy begins with a simple belief: your mind and your body are not separate.
A Practice Born from Two Remarkable Journeys
STARS was founded by a husband-and-wife physician team whose combined backgrounds represent something genuinely rare in modern medicine: deep clinical expertise across both psychiatric and primary care, filtered through lived experience as immigrants, caregivers, and advocates for communities that are too often underserved by the healthcare system.
Dr. Chriss Mulumba, MD—Board-Certified Psychiatrist & TMS Specialist
Dr. Chriss Mulumba did not arrive at psychiatry through a straight line—and that is precisely what makes him exceptional.
Originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Dr. Chriss Mulumba spent over a decade as a registered nurse before pursuing his medical degree at Windsor School of Medicine and completing his specialty training in psychiatry. Those eleven years at the bedside are not background noise—they fundamentally shaped how he practices medicine. He has seen mental illness from every angle: as a technician, as a nurse, and now as a physician who is board-certified with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
Since beginning his psychiatric practice in 2017 and joining the American Psychiatric Association in 2018, Dr. Chriss Mulumba has built a reputation for what can only be called whole-person psychiatric care—the kind that refuses to treat a diagnosis in isolation from the human being carrying it.
His clinical specialties include:
- Treatment-resistant depression—the cases other providers have been unable to resolve
- TMS therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for depression and OCD
- Esketamine (Spravato) therapy for patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressants
- Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and psychotic disorders
- PTSD, anxiety disorders, and ADHD across adolescent, adult, and geriatric populations
- Culturally informed psychiatric care with a deep commitment to treating patients from diverse backgrounds with sensitivity and respect
Dr. Chriss Mulumba is fluent in five languages—English, French, Swahili, Lingala, and Creole—a reflection of his genuine commitment to ensuring that language is never a barrier between a patient and the care they need.
His approach integrates medication management with brief psychotherapy, and he is certified to offer TMS—a technology that is changing lives for patients who once believed their depression was untreatable. He sees patients ages 15 and older, including seniors, and offers both in-person appointments in Suwanee and telehealth nationwide.

“In my current role as a board-certified psychiatrist, along with my extensive nursing background, I bring a holistic, empathetic approach that sees each patient as a whole person—not just a diagnosis.” — Dr. Chriss Mulumba, MD |
Dr. Sindy Mulumba, MD—Family Medicine Physician & Integrative Health Advocate
If Dr. Chriss Mulumba represents the psychiatric anchor of STARS, Dr. Sindy Mulumba is the integrative foundation that makes whole-person care possible.
Originally from Haiti and formerly trained as a mathematics educator before pursuing medicine, Dr. Sindy Mulumba brings a distinctive combination of intellectual precision and deep human empathy to her clinical work. She earned her medical degree from the American University of Antigua College of Medicine and has spent over 15 years building expertise in adult primary care, urgent care, and same-day clinical settings.
Her clinical approach is warm, thorough, and prevention-focused—the kind of family medicine that takes time with patients, builds real knowledge of their health history, and creates plans that fit real lives. At STARS, she offers:
- Comprehensive adult primary care—annual physicals, preventive screenings, immunizations
- Chronic disease management, including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and high cholesterol
- Acute illness treatment for everyday health needs
- Medically supervised weight management, including GLP-1 therapy, nutritional planning, and accountability follow-up
- IV hydration therapy for energy, immune support, athletic recovery, and wellness optimization
- Lifestyle medicine and wellness optimization—because prevention is always better than cure
Dr. Sindy Mulumba is fluent in English, Creole, and French, and she is especially passionate about empowering women—and underserved communities broadly—to take active ownership of their health. She works in close coordination with Dr. Chriss Mulumba so that patients with overlapping medical and psychiatric needs receive a unified, coherent plan rather than two separate treatment tracks.
What Makes STARS Different: The Case for Integrated Care
The word “integrative” gets used loosely in healthcare marketing. At STARS, it means something specific and structural.
Consider a common scenario: a patient managing Type 2 diabetes is also struggling with depression. Their primary care provider prescribes medication for blood sugar control. Their psychiatrist prescribes an antidepressant. But some antidepressants affect glucose metabolism. Some diabetes medications affect mood. Without coordination, both treatment plans may be quietly undermining each other—and the patient has no idea.
At STARS, that coordination happens automatically. Dr. Sindy and Dr. Chriss Mulumba practice in the same building, review the same patient records, and consult with each other in real time. Their patients benefit from a standard of care that most practices simply cannot offer.

Who STARS Is Built For
STARS was designed to serve the diverse, accomplished, and often high-achieving community of Suwanee, Johns Creek, Duluth, Alpharetta, and the surrounding North Atlanta corridor. But the practice welcomes anyone who is ready to take their health seriously—regardless of how they arrived at that decision.
You may be the right fit for STARS if:
- You have been struggling with depression, anxiety, or ADHD and have not found lasting relief through previous treatment.
- You or someone you love has been told their depression is “treatment-resistant,” and you are looking for advanced options like TMS or esketamine.
- You want a primary care physician who will coordinate with your mental health provider.
- You are managing a chronic condition and suspect your mental health is making it harder to manage.
- You are interested in medical weight management that goes beyond a prescription and includes real clinical oversight.
- You want IV hydration therapy in a medically supervised environment—not a spa.
- You are a professional, a parent, a caregiver, or a senior who deserves comprehensive care from providers who will take the time to know you.
Multilingual, Multicultural, and Accessible
The Suwanee and Johns Creek area is one of the most culturally diverse communities in Georgia, and STARS was built with that diversity in mind. Between Dr. Sindy and Dr. Chriss Mulumba, the practice is able to see patients in English, French, Creole, Swahili, and Lingala.
Both physicians immigrated to the United States, and both carry a deep personal understanding of what it means to navigate healthcare systems as an outsider—whether by language, culture, or simply by being new to a community. That experience is not incidental to their practice. It is central to it.
STARS also offers telehealth appointments for many services, making care accessible for patients across Georgia and beyond who cannot easily travel to the Suwanee office.
Flexible Scheduling & Insurance
STARS understands that getting to a healthcare appointment is not always easy. The practice offers:
- In-person appointments Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Extended behavioral health hours with virtual visits available until 7:00 PM on weekdays
- Saturday appointments (virtual) from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
- Telehealth nationwide for qualifying services
STARS is in-network with most major commercial insurance plans, including:
- Aetna
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Cigna
- United Healthcare (UHC)
- Humana
Self-paying patients are also welcome, and the team provides transparent pricing before your visit so there are no surprises. Not sure whether your insurance is accepted?

“Our clinic was founded on the belief that physical health and mental health are inseparable. Too often, patients are forced to navigate fragmented healthcare systems, visiting different offices for medical concerns, mental health issues, and wellness services. At STARS Integrative Care with TMS, we eliminate that burden by offering truly integrated care under one roof.” — STARS Integrative Care with TMS |
