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: I do not accept EAP programs.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring my own life experience into my work with every patient. As a former varsity athlete and Army veteran, I know firsthand what it takes to stay disciplined, resilient, and persistent. Those experiences also taught me an equally important lesson: true strength includes recognizing when to reach out for help.
My approach is collaborative and evidence-based. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model, so our first appointment allows ample, unrushed time for me to learn your story, your symptoms, and the goals that matter to you. Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep problems, or other concerns, we'll partner to create an individualized plan that works for your life.
I pair medication management with therapeutic tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused strategies, because lasting progress comes from caring for the whole person rather than a diagnosis alone. This includes looking closely at how your mental health relates to your physical well-being, your relationships, and how you function day to day. I have worked with a wide range of populations, including young adults and older adults, and that experience shapes the individualized care I provide.
Every session is supportive, compassionate, and free of judgment. My background includes inpatient hospitals, crisis units, outpatient clinics, and telehealth, giving me a strong foundation for addressing a full range of mental health needs. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or have been on this journey for years, I'll meet you where you are. Your feedback guides how we fine-tune your treatment, and no concern is too small to bring up. You deserve skilled, thoughtful care that respects your unique path and helps you build lasting wellness, and I look forward to supporting you along the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note that I do not accept EAP benefits. Every new patient begins with a thorough diagnostic evaluation. At our first visit, I'll learn about your psychiatric history, the symptoms you're currently facing, your daily routines, the medications you take, and your goals for treatment. The more I understand about your experience, the better I'm able to help. This comprehensive assessment allows me to develop a clear clinical picture and a treatment plan tailored to you, so share whatever feels comfortable.
Follow-up visits focus on tracking your progress, reviewing how well your medications are working, and adjusting your plan when necessary. I prescribe the full range of psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, stimulants, and sleep aids. Before starting or changing any treatment, we'll discuss the expected benefits and possible side effects. Your input matters at every stage, and all treatment decisions are made together.
Although my appointments focus primarily on psychiatric evaluation and medication management rather than ongoing talk therapy, I never simply write a prescription and move on. Each visit includes time to check in on how you're doing overall, talk through any challenges, and provide education so you better understand your diagnosis and treatment. No question is too big or too small.
I see you as a whole person, because emotional health is tied to every aspect of your life. I consider how sleep, stress, and physical health affect the way you feel. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or reassessing an existing plan, you'll receive the same attentive care every time.
I stay accessible between appointments, because timely support can make a real difference in your recovery. Finding the right treatment can take patience, and I'll be with you every step of the way. Above all, I want you to feel like an equal partner who is supported, understood, and never alone.

Young Lee is, without question, the best nurse practitioner I have ever had. From the moment you meet him, he takes the time to listen carefully, answer every question, and make you feel like your health truly matters. He never rushes appointments and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand, giving you confidence in your care and treatment plan. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine compassion set him apart from any healthcare provider I've seen.
What impressed me most is how much he truly cares about his patients. He goes above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the entire process. It's rare to find a provider who combines such exceptional medical expertise with kindness and empathy. I highly recommend Young Lee to anyone looking for outstanding healthcare. He has made a tremendous difference in my experience, and I am incredibly grateful to have him as my nurse practitioner.

I feel like ny visits have been going well. Sometimes there can be a bit of a lull in discussion as information is being inputted and reviewed, but the visits have been concise, informative, and overall beneficial

He was very knowledgeable and patient. Even as I got emotional, I could tell he was very sympathetic. Trying medication is very new to me and I was very intimidated. He was very factual about it and I really appreciated it. I was even able to talk about the women’s cycle & hormones and how or if medications could affect them. I felt very heard. It was short and sweet!

I really appreciate Mr. Lee's holistic approach. I went to him for a second opinion when a previous provider was quick to dismiss my concerns. Unlike that previous provider, Mr. Lee performed several assessments and talked with me at length to get to the root of my condition, and ultimately my concerns were validated. On top of being thorough, he's very kind and approachable, and I look forward to working with him on treatment options. It's clear he cares for his patients and is invested in what he does, and I highly recommend him.
