About Cater Psychiatry
Cater Psychiatry is a growing behavioral health practice founded by psychiatrist Dr. Sammy Khader, MD, providing psychiatric and therapy services across Illinois via telehealth and in-person care.
We are expanding our therapy services and seeking independent licensed therapists who want flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to grow with a developing practice.
Why This Role Stands Out
✅ True schedule flexibility — work as much or as little as you want
✅ Telehealth options available
✅ Build your caseload at your own pace
✅ Autonomy in your clinical approach
✅ Direct collaboration with psychiatry providers
✅ Opportunity for increased referrals as the practice expands
Ideal for therapists who want independence without managing their own practice infrastructure.
