Amen Clinics Chicago

Amen Clinics Chicago adopts a neurological approach to addressing various mental health issues, including eating disorders, substance dependencies, and behavioral compulsions. Clients undergo a brain scan during their visit, and based on the results and discussions, the clinic collaborates with clients and their families to create personalized outpatient treatment plans. Amen Clinics views "mental health" as integral to "brain health." Founded by Dr. Daniel G. Amen in 1996, Amen Clinics offers assistance for a broad spectrum of mental and physical conditions connected to brain function. These include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anger management issues, intermittent explosive disorder, anxiety, various types of depression (including postpartum), bipolar disorder, mania, body dysmorphic disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), optimizing brain health, concussions, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, emotional and physical trauma, addiction issues, hormonal disorders, learning difficulties, Lyme disease, dementia, and memory problems, as well as complex conditions such as multiple personality disorder, narcissism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), panic disorders, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), self-esteem challenges, self-harming behavior, suicidal tendencies, sleep issues, and weight management concerns. Amen Clinics also addresses various addictions, including those related to alcohol, drugs, sexual behaviors, pornography, gambling, gaming, internet use, shopping, and other compulsive activities. Their treatment of eating disorders encompasses anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, orthorexia, pica, rumination disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED). The center provides care for children, teens, adults, and couples. Treatment strategies may incorporate individual and family counseling approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), neurofeedback, interactive metronome training, medication management, IV nutrient therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Their comprehensive biomedical treatments distinguish them from most facilities, which typically rely predominantly on traditional talk therapy and medication. In addition to their location in the Chicago area, Amen Clinics has 10 clinics in other major cities offering similar treatment services. After the initial brain scan and evaluation, clients can choose to meet with their therapists either in person or through virtual sessions.

This facility specializes in addressing mental health disorders alongside simultaneous substance use challenges. Here, you will benefit from personalized and cooperative care that focuses on both aspects for comprehensive healing.

Amen Clinics, Inc. does not process insurance claims. After the assessment is completed, clients receive a "walk-out statement" that includes relevant diagnostic and billing codes, which they can use to seek potential out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance providers.
