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.
