Our Founder
Our Founder
YOU Psychiatry Clinic was founded by Huong (Kimmie) Iodice, PMHNP-BC, FPA, APN, an advanced practice nurse with full practice authority specializing in psychiatry. With over a decade of experience at respected academic hospitals in Chicago and Southern California, as well as a leading behavioral health hospital in Chicagoland, Huong established the clinic on the belief that every individual possesses the inner strength to overcome obstacles throughout the healing process.
This core belief inspires our trademarked slogan, BE WELL, BE YOU®, and shapes the four cornerstones of our care: psychoeducation, medication management, empowerment, and collaborative therapeutic strategies. At YOU Psychiatry Clinic, we partner with our patients to address their medical, psychiatric, and social needs, providing holistic care that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.

Dr. Nguyen My Phon, M.D.
Dr. Nguyen brings over a decade of clinical experience, practicing in both Illinois and Wisconsin. She earned her Doctor of Medicine from Creighton University School of Medicine after completing a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She went on to complete her residency in Psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center, followed by fellowship training in Women’s Mental Health and Reproductive Psychiatry – the largest program of its kind in the United States.
Dr. Nguyen is deeply committed to supporting individuals through the unique psychological challenges associated with pregnancy and every stage of womanhood. She is now expanding her specialty to serve the community in an outpatient setting, and we are grateful to have her join our mission of delivering compassionate, culturally attuned mental health care.

Outpatient Psychiatry Services
At YOU Psychiatry Clinic, we recognize that seeking mental health care is a profoundly personal decision. With over 20 years of combined clinical experience, our clinicians bring expertise in both general and specialized areas of psychiatry. We are especially committed to serving the LGBTQIA+ community, healthcare professionals, college-aged patients, international students, Fulbright scholars, and those seeking neurodivergent-affirming care. We provide inclusive and culturally sensitive care in a welcoming environment.
Our clinical experience spans major health systems in California, Illinois, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. We value collaboration and coordinate with other providers when appropriate to ensure a comprehensive and well-rounded treatment experience.
We provide care for adults aged 18 and older, with specialties that include:
- General & Medical Psychiatry
- Women’s Mental Health (PMS, PMDD, perinatal and postpartum psychiatric conditions, infertility-related concerns, menopause-related mental health)
- Complementary & Integrative Psychiatry
- Cross-Cultural Psychiatry
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders (Autism Spectrum Disorder, AuADHD)
- The Intersection of Psychiatry and Psychiatric Nursing
Our approach is personalized and patient-centered. We consider each patient’s identity, background, and goals in order to create a treatment plan that supports lasting well-being.
Coordinated Care with Trusted Day Programs for Higher Level Support
We provide coordinated care in partnership with trusted local day programs for patients who need a higher level of support than standard outpatient services but do not require inpatient hospitalization. These programs address a range of psychiatric conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety, eating disorders, and more.
Once you are an established patient, we can refer you to a suitable program when clinically appropriate. After successful completion, you will transition back to our clinic for continued outpatient psychiatric care. We maintain close communication with your treatment team to ensure a seamless transition into and out of the program.
Diagnostic Tests
As part of your comprehensive treatment plan, we will order laboratory tests through Quest Diagnostics and EKGs through Tempus or local clinics, as clinically indicated.
We offer GeneSight or Tempus Genetic Test as clinically indicated upon thorough psychiatric and psychotropic history evaluations. This is a pharmacogenomic test that analyzes clinically important genetic variations that may affect outcomes with certain medications that are commonly prescribed to treat depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia disorder, and other mental health conditions. Results often give providers information about which medications may require dose adjustments, may be less likely to work for you, or may have an increased risk of side effects based on your genetic makeup. However, please note that the test does not provide a guarantee as to the efficacy of prescribed psychotropics; rather, it is a tool to help us understand how your body’s genetic makeup interacts with and metabolizes the medications. The test is useful because it can help us prescribe the right medication in appropriate dosages that may have fewer unwanted side effects.
