“I found James very easy to talk to and I felt heard and seen throughout the whole appointment. James spoke to me with compassion and empathy which went a long way for me. I was warned that psychiatrists can sometimes come off as cold and calculating, but I did not get that impression with James. I am looking forward to continuing our work together. ”

Getting to know James Young

James E. Young III is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for delivering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to patients across the Chicagoland area. He specializes in psychopharmacology, medication management, and the treatment of complex mood and anxiety disorders.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe seeking psychiatric care should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable discussing what you’re experiencing. I take the time to understand the whole person—not just a diagnosis. Together, we’ll look at your symptoms, life experiences, stressors, physical health, and personal goals to develop a treatment plan that feels realistic and individualized to you. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, life transitions, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and compassion. If my approach feels like a good fit for what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to work with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first visit is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to care. We’ll review your current concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, medications, lifestyle, stressors, and treatment goals so I can better understand the full picture. From there, we’ll work together to create an individualized treatment plan. Depending on your needs, this may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle recommendations, additional screening or lab work, and coordination with other healthcare providers when appropriate. Follow-up visits are collaborative and focused on how you’re progressing. We’ll review what is working, discuss any concerns or side effects, make adjustments when needed, and continue building toward your goals. My approach is designed to be thoughtful, practical, and supportive, with you actively involved in decisions about your care.

He did not show up for the appointment impolite , rude, and unprofessional
Verified patient
Do not book with him. After my first appointment I was prescribed a medication but, when I called his office (because Walgreens said they didn’t have it) I got no response. During the next appointment, when I told him how the office never got back to me, he said to always text the number instead of calling if I have an issue (because the receptionist was still working out some issues). He also promised to put my medication in the system after the second appointment. When I went to see if the prescription was ready a few days later, they said he had only put one singular pill into the system. When I texted the office number I got no response. The unprofessionalism I was shown is why you should never book with them. I was in a crisis state with my mental health yet I was disregarded and not given the medication I needed to feel better.
I found James very easy to talk to and I felt heard and seen throughout the whole appointment. James spoke to me with compassion and empathy which went a long way for me. I was warned that psychiatrists can sometimes come off as cold and calculating, but I did not get that impression with James. I am looking forward to continuing our work together.

ADHD has been crippling for my executive function my entire life. Most psychiatrists downplay it in comparison to my other conditions. This has led me to be over sedated for years. Dr James genuinely took my input into consideration of what i’m looking for in a medicine, finding a safe middle ground for me. Im looking forward to future appointments.
Verified patient
He was wonderful he listened to my needs and was very down to earth and was able to make me feel better with a new doctor the only thing is I have received my scripts yet
Verified patient
listened well and let me have a say in my medical treatment instead of just telling me what i should take which i appreciate.

He was amazing! Listened to me as a person to evaluate my medical state and determine next steps. Together we came up with medical treatment that was comfortable for me and he explained everything very throughly! Very detailed and understanding!
I was able to get an appt the same day I made it.
Verified patient
I was nervous as this was my first time seeing someone in the Psychiatric field. Due to some unfortunate circumstances I was unable to get into contact at the appointment time, but James made a great effort to meet with me on the same day and I am grateful for his diligence and commitment. He listened to everything I had to say and explained everything very well whenever I had a question. Fantastic bedside manner and a great healthcare professional. Highly recommend.
