The Neuroscience Center is an advanced interventional psychiatry and neuropsychiatry practice dedicated to patients with complex, chronic, and treatment-resistant conditions. Led by board-certified psychiatrist and neuropsychiatrist Dr. Best, the clinic combines decades of clinical experience with sophisticated diagnostic testing, functional brain assessment, and innovative treatment strategies. The practice specializes in identifying the medical, neurologic, psychiatric, and metabolic factors that may contribute to unsuccessful treatment. Services include comprehensive psychiatric and neuropsychiatric evaluations, TMS, EEG testing through an in-house electrophysiology laboratory, and expert review of brain SPECT imaging obtained at outside facilities. Under Dr. Best’s leadership, the clinic has become a destination for patients with severe depression, psychosis, chronic pain, brain injury, post-stroke symptoms, neurodegenerative illness, and other high-comorbidity conditions. The practice is also distinguished by Dr. Best’s patented work combining noninvasive brain stimulation with ketamine-based treatment to pursue stronger and more durable outcomes for patients who have not improved with conventional care.
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. Founded by Dr. Sallaj, a University of Chicago-trained psychiatrist, 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, effectively treating depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions when traditional approaches haven’t provided relief. 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 Accelerated TMS (SAINT-adjacent) Protocol options for those seeking faster results. Ketamine-Assisted Treatment For treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and chronic anxiety, we offer medically supervised ketamine sessions combined with therapeutic support. Treatment occurs in our monitored clinical setting with a therapist present throughout.
Innovative MindCare has its roots as one of Chicago’s first dedicated IV ketamine clinics, founded in 2019 by Dr. Rahul Khare, and originally known as Innovative Ketamine. The clinic quickly became a leader in providing ketamine infusions for patients with severe depression, mood disorders, chronic pain, and more. As demand grew, a second location opened in Downers Grove in 2023. Today, as Innovative MindCare, we continue that legacy of leadership while offering an expanded range of evidence-based treatments—including TMS therapy, Spravato®, IV ketamine, and personalized psychiatry. Our mission remains the same: to deliver innovative, compassionate mental health care that helps patients find real relief and lasting healing.
