Getting to know So yeon Kim
I am So Yeon “Lena,” a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing psychiatric evaluations and medication management through secure telehealth services in Maryland. I specialize in diagnosing and treating anxiety disorders, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, OCD, and stable psychotic disorders.
With a background as a Family Nurse Practitioner and advanced psychiatric training from Johns Hopkins University, I bring a comprehensive and integrative approach to mental health care. I work with children (under 13), adolescents (13–17), young adults (18–24), and adults (25–64), tailoring treatment to each individual’s developmental stage, clinical needs, and personal goals.
My focus is on delivering evidence-based, patient-centered psychiatric care that supports symptom relief, emotional stability, and long-term mental wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative, meaning we make treatment decisions together based on your goals, preferences, and clinical needs.
I focus on clear communication, education, and personalized care so you understand your diagnosis and treatment plan. Through telehealth sessions in Maryland, I aim to make psychiatric care accessible, consistent, and focused on helping you feel better and function more effectively in daily life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation via telehealth, where I take a detailed history of symptoms, prior treatments, medical background, and current concerns. I also use DSM-5 criteria and standardized assessment tools to guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
From there, I develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management and supportive interventions such as motivational interviewing, behavioral activation, and mindfulness-based strategies. I closely monitor progress over time and adjust treatment as needed to ensure optimal outcomes and symptom improvement.
