AJ Films & Entertainment has announced the upcoming anthology series Therapy Chronicles, directed and executive produced by Salman Alam Khan. Set across Los Angeles, Glendale, Pasadena, and Santa Monica, the eight-episode series centers on therapy sessions that reveal the hidden emotional lives of everyday people. The show follows a range of characters, including a South Asian immigrant confronting inherited shame, a Black therapist whose unresolved grief resurfaces, a queer South Asian couple navigating faith and acceptance, an estranged father and daughter seeking forgiveness, an undocumented worker facing systemic fear, and a high-powered executive battling depression. Threading through these narratives is Dr. Arjun, an Indian American therapist whose own inner fractures gradually emerge, turning his journey into the quiet spine of the series.
By the final episode, Therapy Chronicles draws its characters into subtle points of intersection through shared spaces, echoes of dialogue, and emotional parallels, revealing that healing is less about tidy resolution and more about learning to live honestly with what remains. The series closes on an image of stillness that embodies its central idea: that being witnessed with compassion can be as transformative as any clinical intervention.
Salman Alam Khan, as director, shapes the emotional and visual language of the series, using long takes, close framing, and natural performances to create the sensation of truly inhabiting the therapy room. His work, recognized for exploring themes of identity, culture, and interior life, brings a finely tuned sensitivity to silence, gaze, and breath. Khan guides actors through rehearsals that function as exploratory labs, where performers investigate their characters’ histories and emotional triggers. He collaborates closely with the cinematographer, production designer, and sound team to ensure that image, space, and sound serve a unified purpose: turning the therapy office into a reflection of each character’s inner world. As executive producer, Khan oversees script development, casting, and integration of multilingual elements including English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Spanish to reflect the layered realities of contemporary Los Angeles.
The series is produced under AJ Films & Entertainment, founded by Ajay Mohamed, a Los Angeles-based producer. The company is known for meticulous pre-production, detailed breakdowns, and on-set problem solving. Mohamed oversees day-to-day operations, financial tracking, contracts, union compliance, and cross-departmental coordination, ensuring the creative vision has the resources it needs. The core creative team includes cinematographer Rayana Rasamee, production designer Shoaib Shawl, and editor Jackie Lang.
Visually, Therapy Chronicles embraces a restrained, performance-driven aesthetic, using natural light, handheld intimacy, and extended uninterrupted takes. The therapy office is treated as a character, with its furniture, textures, and lighting subtly shifting to mirror emotional states. Color and sound function as emotional scaffolding: warm palettes give way to cooler tones as deeper truths are confronted, while sound design foregrounds breathing and ambient space over heavy musical scoring. Music is used sparingly, entering like memory and retreating into silence. The series is captured on RED Komodo and Sony FX3 systems and mastered in 4K HDR with 5.1 surround sound. The production model utilizes a 30 to 35 person crew per unit, multi-camera setups for real-time performance, and a post-production schedule that prioritizes emotional continuity.
