Performance Psychiatry for High Performers Chicago
Something is off. You are still functioning at a high level, still showing up, still delivering. But focus is harder than it used to be. Sleep is not what it was. The recovery time between hard stretches keeps getting longer. You are not falling apart, but you are not operating at your best either.
That gap between where you are and where you know you can be is exactly what we treat.
Good Wolf Wellness is a sports and performance psychiatry practice in Chicago. We work with professionals in high-pressure fields who need a psychiatrist who understands the demands of their work, not just the symptoms they're experiencing.
Our patients come from fields where mental performance is not optional. Surgeons, attorneys, physicians, executives, finance professionals, entrepreneurs, and others who operate under sustained pressure and cannot afford to be at less than their best.
These are people who have often been high functioning for a long time. They are not necessarily in crisis. They are dealing with something more subtle: a slide in sharpness, a change in how they recover, a sense that something they have always been able to manage is getting harder to manage.
Who we work with
• Difficulty concentrating or sustaining focus during demanding work
• Sleep problems, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking unrefreshed
• Burnout and continuing to perform externally while running low internally
• ADHD evaluation and treatment in high-achieving adults
• Anxiety that presents as overanalysis, avoidance, or decision fatigue
• Mood changes that affect how you show up at work or with the people around you
• Difficulty recovering mentally between high-demand periods
What we treat
Our Approach
We do a thorough psychiatric evaluation. We take the time to understand your work, your schedule, your history, and what has changed. Then we treat accordingly.
We lead with therapy and skills. Medication is available when it is clinically the right call, but it is not where we start. When we do prescribe, we factor in your specific demands, your schedule, and how the medication will interact with the way you actually work.
This is not a quick fix practice. It is for people who want to understand what is happening and address it properly.
We are fully out-of-network with insurance. This means your care is not tied to an insurance company, no claims are filed, and there are no outside limits on what we can address or how long we can work together. Superbills are provided if you choose to seek reimbursement from your insurer. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
