About The Doctor

With more than 35 years of experience in psychiatry, Dr. Hamid Salim offers the kind of deep clinical expertise that can only come from decades of listening to and treating thousands of patients.’

He has worked in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community mental health programs across multiple countries and cultures, giving him a rare understanding of how life experiences, culture, and background shape mental health.

Dr. Salim holds the academic rank of Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary, where he has taught and mentored medical students and psychiatric residents for many years. Occasionally a learner will sit in on appointments (always with your prior consent) — many patients actually find it helpful and appreciate contributing to the training of tomorrow’s doctors.

Dr. Salim’s approach remains straightforward: he takes the time to truly hear your story, explains things clearly and honestly, and builds a treatment plan together with you — combining evidence-based medicine with genuine compassion and respect.

Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or the quieter struggles that don’t always have a name, Dr. Salim is committed to helping you feel understood, supported, and back on track again.
