About Us

About Able Psychiatry

A Psychiatry Practice based in Chicago

Founded in Chicago in 2016, Able Psychiatry emerged from a recognition that healing requires more than diagnoses and prescriptions; it needs a witness, a collaborator, someone willing to explore the complex space between suffering and possibility. Our psychiatric team combines clinical expertise with continuous learning, engaging with evolving perspectives in neuroscience and philosophy of mind that often precede formal research validation.

We serve those who seek more than conventional approaches; individuals whose questions, insights, and engagement deserve a collaborative therapeutic space. We welcome patients of all identities, orientations, and beliefs.

Our Philosophy: Healing Through Partnership

Meaningful psychiatric progress emerges through dialogue, not prescription alone. Able Psychiatry brings together well-trained, board-certified psychiatric professionals committed to continuous improvement. Our psychiatrists and psychiatric PAs read beyond the required journals, attend conferences that challenge rather than confirm our thinking, and regularly consult with colleagues when cases push the boundaries of standard approaches. What distinguishes our practice is staying intellectually honest about what we don't know and continuously refining what we do.

We recognize that your abilities, curiosities, drives, wants, needs, and experiences all provide crucial clinical data; this recognition of your inherent capabilities is what the 'Able' in our name represents. Our role combines psychiatric expertise with genuine collaboration, where your treatment goals guide our shared therapeutic journey.

Psychiatric Services for Depression, Anxiety, and Beyond

Our Chicago psychiatric practice integrates multiple therapeutic approaches to create treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique neurochemistry and life circumstances.

TMS Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions, and TMS devices are FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder in adults who have not improved enough on antidepressant medication in the current episode. Sessions require no sedation and allow immediate return to daily activities. We offer a complimentary initial treatment to help you understand the process. We also provide an accelerated, SAINT-inspired TMS protocol for those who want a shorter course.

Ketamine-Assisted Treatment

For treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic anxiety, we offer medically supervised, off-label ketamine sessions combined with therapeutic support. Treatment occurs in our monitored clinical setting.

Biological approach to Psychiatry

We assess and address the connections between physical health and psychiatric symptoms; thyroid function, inflammation markers, nutritional deficiencies, and biological factors that impact mental health. IV nutrient therapy is available for established patients when clinically indicated.

Our Approach to Medication

We view psychopharmacology as thoughtful biochemical support; the scaffolding that enables deeper therapeutic work. Medication, when carefully selected and monitored, can provide the biological stability necessary for meaningful psychotherapy and lasting behavioral change.

Beyond symptom reduction, we recognize that mental stability naturally enhances productivity and cognitive flow. When the mind isn't constantly interrupted by anxiety, mood fluctuations, or intrusive thoughts, you can access sustained states of focus and creativity. Rather than the exhausting cycle of starts and stops that characterize many mental health struggles, proper treatment helps establish a consistent baseline where your natural abilities can emerge and flourish.

Our approach recognizes that finding the right medication is often an iterative process requiring patience, close observation, and ongoing dialogue. We prioritize:

• Collaborative decision-making about any changes
• Integration with psychotherapy and lifestyle approaches
• Respecting your preferences and concerns throughout the process
