Welcome to TheoMind Psychiatry
Where Peace of Mind and Spirit Meet
Meet Dr. Shin Lee, MD
I believe true healing happens when we treat the whole person—honoring the intersection of your physical health, cultural background, and spiritual values.
As the founder of TheoMind Psychiatry and a faculty member at both UIC and Loyola University, I bring an academic and methodical lens to private practice. I specialize in a 'safety-first' approach to medication management, with a particular focus on complex regimens and de-prescribing to ensure your treatment is as lean and effective as possible.
Whether you are navigating high-pressure professional life or looking for a psychiatrist who understands your unique cultural identity, your story matters here. I provide bilingual care in both English and Korean at my office in Arlington Heights and virtually across Illinois.
