Getting to know Young tae Lee
Welcome! I'm Young Lee, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care through my personal practice. As a former varsity soccer player and veteran Army sergeant, I bring discipline, resilience, and leadership to every patient interaction. I earned my BSN from Duke University, where I received the Helen Fuld Scholarship, and completed my MSN in Psychiatric Mental Health from Charles R. Drew University.
With experience spanning inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and telehealth settings, I treat a wide range of conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, substance use disorders, eating disorders, and personality disorders. My clinical foundation includes psychiatric nursing in adult psych, geropsychiatry, crisis stabilization, and hospital consultation across ICU, ER, and medical units — giving me a well-rounded perspective on complex presentations.
My approach combines thorough assessments with personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, CBT, solution-focused therapy, and holistic strategies. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. I have also co-authored research presented at a national conference and participated in a national BLS research study at Duke University, reflecting my dedication to evidence-based practice. I am experienced in prescribing both non-controlled and controlled medications, including antidepressants, stimulants, antipsychotics, and anxiolytics, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your treatment. I also have a strong background in working with geriatric populations, addressing the unique mental health needs of older adults. Whether you are seeking help for the first time or looking for a new provider, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Please note that I do not accept EAP programs.
My name is Young Lee, and I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose background shapes everything about how I practice today. Before I entered healthcare, I competed as a varsity athlete and served as an Army sergeant, experiences that gave me a deep respect for discipline, perseverance, and resilience in the face of hardship. They also taught me that asking for support isn't a sign of weakness but one of the most courageous choices a person can make, and I carry that belief into every appointment.
I practice collaborative, evidence-based care shaped around who you are as an individual with your own needs and circumstances. At our first visit, I set aside real time to learn your story: your symptoms, your complete history, and the goals you're working toward in treatment. I treat a broad range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and sleep difficulties, approaching each with a comprehensive plan built specifically around your life, never leaning on a one-size-fits-all template.
Every appointment is warm, unhurried, and entirely free of judgment or stigma. My clinical experience spans inpatient hospitals, crisis settings, outpatient care, and telehealth, which means I've supported people across the full spectrum of mental health experiences and severity levels. Wherever you are in your journey, just starting out or working through this for years, I'll meet you there with compassion and expertise.
Your questions, concerns, and preferences are always welcome and will directly shape the decisions we make. I've worked with diverse populations across age groups, and my commitment in every case stays the same: thorough, personalized care that helps you feel like yourself again and reclaim the life you deserve. Together, we'll build a path toward lasting wellness and meaningful change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note that I do not accept EAP programs. Everyone new to my practice starts the same way: a full diagnostic assessment during our first session, usually lasting about an hour. I carve out that time on purpose, to understand your mental health history, what you're experiencing now, how you live, the medications you take, and what you're aiming for—because the clearer your picture is to me, the better I can help. That careful evaluation is what lets me form an accurate clinical read and design a plan built around you. I'm equally interested in what recovery means in your own words, since it looks different for each person, and yours is the definition that counts.
Later visits usually take 20 to 30 minutes, settling into a monthly rhythm once you're stable. The focus then is following how you're doing, seeing how you're responding to medication, and reshaping things as the situation calls for. Because your feedback drives those calls, we can keep adjusting the plan toward whatever's genuinely helping. I prescribe across the full spectrum—antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anti-anxiety agents, stimulants, sleep aids—and I'll always explain how any of them works, what it offers, and its possible side effects before we start or change a thing.
My visits revolve around evaluation and medication management, but I don't hand over a prescription and call my job done. There's always room to see how you're holding up overall, talk through whatever you're wrestling with, and share the kind of education that leaves you understanding your condition and your care more clearly.
You don't face this alone—I'm here to support you with real compassion and clinical skill at every turn. If something's on your mind between visits, reach out; staying in touch is a core part of what I offer. Most of all, I want you feeling like a true partner in your treatment, your voice shaping every decision we make.
