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 personal history into every aspect of my practice. Having competed as a varsity athlete and served in the Army, I understand from experience what discipline, resilience, and perseverance truly require. Those years also taught me something just as valuable: real strength means knowing when to ask for support.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment, so at our first visit I set aside generous, unhurried time to fully understand your story, your symptoms, and the goals you want to achieve. Whether you're facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep difficulties, or another concern, we'll work side by side to build a personalized plan that fits your life.
I combine medication management with therapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused techniques, because the best outcomes come from caring for the whole person instead of treating a diagnosis in isolation. That means paying close attention to how your mental health connects with your physical health, your relationships, and your daily functioning. I have broad experience serving diverse populations, including older adults and young adults, and that breadth informs how I care for every individual.
Each session is compassionate and completely judgment-free. My clinical experience spans inpatient hospitals, crisis units, outpatient clinics, and telehealth, providing a solid foundation across the full spectrum of mental health needs. Whether this is your first time seeking care or you've been on this path for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are. Your feedback directly shapes how we adjust your treatment, and no concern is ever too small to raise. You deserve thoughtful, skilled support that honors your unique journey and helps you move toward lasting wellness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Please note: I do not accept EAP programs.
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment. In our first session, I'll learn about your mental health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, medications, and personal goals, because the more I understand your experience, the better I can support you. This thorough evaluation helps me form an accurate clinical picture and build a treatment plan tailored to you, so I encourage you to share as openly as you feel comfortable.
Follow-up visits focus on tracking your progress, evaluating how you're responding to any prescribed medications, and making adjustments as needed. I prescribe a full range of psychiatric medications, including antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, stimulants, and sleep aids. Before starting or changing anything, I'll review the expected benefits and possible side effects with you. Your input matters at every stage, and treatment decisions are made together.
Although my sessions center on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, I don't simply write prescriptions and move on. Each visit includes time to check in on how you're feeling overall, talk through challenges you're facing, and provide education so you better understand your condition and treatment. Your questions are always welcome, no matter how small.
I also treat the whole person, because mental health doesn't exist in isolation. I consider how sleep, stress, and physical health affect your overall wellbeing. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or refining an existing plan, you can expect the same attentiveness and clinical care at every visit.
Between appointments, I stay accessible, because timely support can make a real difference in your progress. Finding the right treatment can take time, and I'll be with you throughout that process. Above all, I want you to feel like a true partner in your care, supported, understood, and never alone along the way.

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.
