Psychiatrist in Tacoma, Washington,
Shannon Corbin, MD

Hello, I’m Dr. Shannon Corbin. I went to medical school at the University of Washington (UW), where I also completed my residency in Psychiatry. I am a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (the ‘official’ way of saying that I am a board-certified specialist). As a psychiatrist I see only adults, with special interests in older adults, women, veterans and people managing long-term health conditions.
I’ve a strong interest in integrated care and in reaching people who’ve potentially been underserved by our health care systems. Prior to medical school I was able to use my Psychology Bachelor of Science degree working as a psychometrist and study coordinator at the Seattle VA and UW’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center– that experience propelled me onto the path of becoming a physician.
I’ve been an outpatient provider since finishing my psychiatry residency, working extensively in community mental health centers and with comprehensive care teams, including as the Adult medical provider on Child and Family teams, Geriatric and Adult Psychiatry teams, and as part of an integrated primary care team serving people with complex physical and mental health conditions. While I’ll be working here on a part-time basis via telehealth, I’m looking forward to getting to meet and work with you.
