Jeff K. Abbott, M.D.

Dr. Jeff K. Abbott is an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist with extensive training and a strong commitment to thoughtful, individualized care. He completed medical school at UT Southwestern and went on to train at Northwestern University, where he served as Chief Resident. Throughout his career, he has received multiple awards for merit and education, and he continues to teach and mentor trainees at Northwestern—reflecting both his clinical excellence and his dedication to the next generation of mental health professionals.

Dr. Abbott is a general adult psychiatrist who treats a wide range of psychiatric conditions, with particular expertise in anxiety disorders, panic attacks, OCD, and ADHD. In his therapeutic work, he tailors his approach to each patient, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and supportive therapy. His practice is grounded in the belief that patients should feel welcomed, understood, and seen as whole individuals—not defined by a diagnosis. He works collaboratively with each person, focusing on their unique needs, strengths, and goals.

On a personal note, my interactions with Dr. Abbott left a strong and lasting impression. His warmth and gentleness are immediately felt, and he has a natural ability to help people feel at ease, cared for, and truly listened to. He is communicative and easy to coordinate with, which signals how deeply he values both his patients and his professional relationships. What stands out most, though, is his patience and clarity—he takes the time to explain processes, walk clients through his reasoning, and collaboratively explore options that align with their needs. Dr. Abbott is exactly the kind of psychiatrist I feel confident referring clients to: compassionate, grounded, and deeply committed to thoughtful, patient-centered care.
