Jen Kurth, DO (she/her)

Consulting Psychiatrist

Hello! I’m Dr. Jen Kurth, a consulting psychiatrist for Mind Chicago and psychiatrist in private practice. I received my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. I went on to the University of California Irvine for my psychiatry residency and Northwestern University McGaw Medical Center/Children's Memorial Hospital (now Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago) for fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings ranging from community mental health programs to hospital-based programs, as well as held positions of Training Director, Medical Director, and Director of Education. I’m also an advocate for increasing children’s access to mental health care and have done work for the Illinois Psychiatric Society on this specific cause. I specialize in pediatric care with clinical focus areas of ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders.

As a consulting psychiatrist, I collaborate with clinicians at Mind Chicago on mutual and relevant cases and see my clients at the Mind Chicago office on Ravenswood. Although I am not employed by Mind Chicago, I support and enjoy the Mind community!

Now, let’s get to the good stuff… Outside of work, I like to spend time with my family. Like many folks at Mind, I enjoy gardening, travel, food, and the arts. I also love water sports/boating.
