My Approach to Therapy

Are you feeling lost and uncertain about the way your life is going? Do you feel alone or stuck in your situation? Are you struggling with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression? In order to effectively treat emotional problems and life challenges, it is important to find a psychiatrist & psychotherapist that can meet your needs. My first goal when meeting with you is to establish a genuine and collaborative connection. This will serve as the foundation for the work necessary to deal with daily feelings, understand experiences, and make positive changes to your life. We will work together to help you feel whole, peaceful, and connected.

Know More About Me

Hi, I’m Dr. Shoaib Memon, a board-certified psychiatrist and psychotherapist based in Downtown Chicago. For over 14 years, I’ve supported individuals, couples, and families across Illinois, helping them navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, stress, and relationship issues.

I completed my medical training at Rosalind Franklin University, followed by residency at the University of Chicago, and a fellowship in Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry at Northwestern. I also trained in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy at the Chicago Psychoanalytic Institute and hold certification as a Group Psychotherapist.

In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Clinical Associate at the University of Chicago, where I teach courses in psychodynamic therapy. I provide care in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Urdu/Hindi, and Punjabi.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me playing basketball, exploring music through vocals and instruments like the guitar and harmonium, or learning a new language.
