WELCOME TO CATER PSYCHIATRY
Where Your Mental Health Comes First
Hi, I’m Dr. Sammy Khader, MD—a board-eligible psychiatrist specializing in ADHD, anxiety, and depression. At Cater Psychiatry, I’m redefining mental health care for Illinois residents. Tired of waiting months for appointments? Exhausted by insurance denials, surprise bills, or rushed 10-minute visits? You’ve found your solution.

Meet Dr. Sammy Khader
Your Guide to Insurance-Free Healing
I built Cater Psychiatry after watching brilliant patients crumble under insurance delays. One man waited 6 months for ADHD treatment—only to be denied coverage after two sessions. A mother with bipolar disorder was labeled ‘non-compliant’ when she couldn’t afford $100 co-pays weekly. This isn’t healthcare; it’s cruelty.
As a board-eligible psychiatrist trained in adult psychiatry, I focus on solutions, not labels. Whether you struggle with ADHD paralysis, panic attacks, or the gray fog of depression, we’ll craft a plan that fits your life. Medication? Only if you want it. Therapy? We’ll blend it in. Your goals lead—not insurance mandates.
My vision is simple: Make elite mental healthcare fast, affordable, and human. Starting in Illinois. Expanding nationwide. But it begins with you—and today.
This is psychiatry reimagined: Care that caters to you, not insurance algorithms. Where 60-minute sessions, same-week appointments, and label-free healing become your new normal.

Why Insurance-Driven Psychiatry Fails You
complicate care—it actively sabotages it. Consider the hidden costs
The Diagnosis Trap
To get reimbursed, clinics must slap you with a label—”Major Depression,” “Generalized Anxiety“—that sticks to your permanent record. This can haunt you when applying for life insurance, jobs, or security clearances. At Cater psychiatry? No forced diagnoses. Seek help for burnout, grief, or stress without pathologizing your humanity.
The 15-Minute Hamster Wheel
Insurers reward rushed “med checks,” not deep healing. Need 60 minutes to unravel ADHD burnout or marital stress? Too bad. You’re handed pills and ushered out. We reject this. Your initial evaluation is a full 60 minutes—and follow-ups are 30 minutes of focused collaboration.
The Rejection Roulette
40% of insurance claims get denied. You’re left battling faceless corporations while drowning in anxiety. Our model is simple: Pay once. Get care. Done. We’ll even provide a “superbill” receipt for you to potentially seek reimbursement—without us ever bowing to insurance demands.
The Privacy Sacrifice
When insurers demand “proof of medical necessity,” they force clinicians to share your intimate notes. At Cater psychiatry? Your secrets stay yours. No auditors. No databases. Just you and Dr. Sammy Khader in a secure virtual room.
Insurance-free care isn’t a luxury—it’s how psychiatry should be. At Cater psychiatry, you direct your healing.
The Cater Psychiatry Difference
Fast, Human-Centered Care
Same-Week Appointments
Evenings & Weekends Included
The mainstream mental healthcare system is broken. Insurance doesn’t just complicate care—it actively sabotages it. Consider the hidden costs
The Superbill Safety Net
Pay cash. Potentially get reimbursed. We provide detailed receipts you can submit to insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. Many patients recover 50-80% of costs—without us ever contacting your insurer. Best of both worlds: You skip the bureaucracy but keep reimbursement power.

FAQs: Cutting Through the Noise
Who is Cater psychiatry for?
If you’re an Illinois resident tired of waiting months for care or battling insurance gatekeepers – you’re our people. We specialize in fast, human-centered psychiatry for adults (18+) struggling with:
- ADHD paralysis & burnout
- Anxiety’s tight grip
- Depression’s heavy fog
- Bipolar, OCD, trauma, and insomnia
Not sure? Our free 15-minute intro helps you decide – no diagnosis required. We’ll honestly refer you elsewhere if we’re not your best fit.
Why choose cash-only care?
Because your healing shouldn’t be a corporate negotiation.
- Privacy: No insurers auditing your trauma history
- Control: No forced diagnoses staining your medical record
- Time: 60-minute sessions (not 15-minute med checks)
- Transparency: $279 initial / $199 follow-ups – no surprise bills
Bonus: We provide “superbills” – detailed receipts many insurers reimburse 50-80% for out-of-network care.
How fast is 'same-week care'?
72 hours. Often less.
While others wait months, we reserve slots for urgent needs – evenings/weekends included. Your timeline:

Do I need a diagnosis to get help?
Never.

Then we won’t prescribe any.
Dr. Sammy khader blends:
- Therapy techniques for anxiety/ADHD

We add:
- Deeper focus (you’re relaxed in your safe space)
- Illinois-exclusive insight (Dr. Sammy Khader knows your state’s pressures)

Fun fact: 92% of our patients feel more heard online than in crowded clinics.
Will my secrets stay private?
Fiercely.
Unlike insurance-driven clinics:
- No auditors reading your therapy notes
- No diagnoses shared without consent
- HIPAA-secure platform (bank-level encryption)
Your story stays between us – not corporate databases.
