About me

Wendy You, MD (they/them/their)

I attended Northwestern University and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and Art Theory and Practice. (The art major was harder.) I then graduated from Chicago Medical School, where I also went to psychiatry residency. I worked for a larger telehealth practice for 3 years and am now stepping into the waters of solo practice.

I am an ABPN Board-Certified adult psychiatrist. Special interests include mental illness in the setting of co-occurring medical illness, geriatric psychiatry, the spectrum of bipolarity, and borderline personality disorder. As a first-generation descendant of immigrants, I have some insight into the potential challenges of addressing mental illness in other cultural settings. I also try to provide care that affirms LGBTQIA+ identities and neurodivergence. I have a somewhat dry sense of humor that you’ll probably notice during visits. I’m also definitely going to ask you about your pets.

It’s seriously just me running this thing, so you can be sure that every answer is from me personally. (Give me 1-2 business days to make that happen, though.)

I provide psychiatric diagnosis and medication management services to patients age 18 and up. I’m willing to talk about whatever ails your mental health. If I can’t help, I’ll help you find someone who can.
