My name is Huong Iodice, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC, FPA, APN) who has a full practice authority license in Chicago, Illinois. My colleagues, friends, DNP PMHNP students, and patients usually call me Kimmie. I earned my PMHNP degree and trained at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I received my undergraduate nursing degree from Azusa Pacific University in Southern California. The nursing schools of both universities are ranked in the national top tier. The DNP PMHNP students whom I have mentored over the years are referred to me by Rush University College of Nursing which is also consistently ranked in the top tier in the nation. 

Before I introduce more about myself, I would like to tell you why I named my clinic YOU Psychiatry Clinic. As a PMHNP-BC, I strongly believe in treating the person, not the symptoms. I opened this clinic to meet your individual needs by providing specially-tailored treatment plans that are based on the most up-to-date research data. Nothing gives me greater joy than seeing my patients succeed in meeting their treatment goals. I believe the best way to get there is to work in partnership with my patients to help you become your best version of you.

Let me tell you a little about me. I have extensive experience working as a PMHNP-BC at two large healthcare systems in Chicago and the Chicagoland area where I have treated chronic, complex medical and psychiatric patients. Prior to this, I was a clinical registered nurse at a large healthcare system in Southern California where I worked with patients who suffered traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, strokes, and heart attacks. As a provider, I believe it is essential to constantly update my clinical knowledge. In addition to my daily work with patients, I go to continuing education conferences throughout the year (my favorites are from Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital). My other interests are neuroscience and psychopharmacology. I believe you deserve a provider at the leading edge of medical and psychiatric science.

In my personal time, I like to spend time with my family and go to different music, art, and cultural events in Chicago and Los Angeles.

Now that I’ve told you a little about me, I invite you to sit down and tell me a little more about you. Together, we can tailor a treatment plan based on your symptoms and needs. We will take this journey together, one step at a time.

be WELL, be YOU
