Young Tae Lee

Young Tae Lee

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Gold River, CA


Hi, I'm Young Lee, a PMHNP-BC based in CA. Before entering healthcare, I was a varsity soccer player and served as a sergeant in the U.S. Army — experiences that taught me what it really means to show up for people, stay the course when things get hard, and lead with purpose. Those values followed me into every patient interaction I have today.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duke University and my Master of Science in Nursing with a PMHNP specialization from Charles R. Drew University. My clinical background spans inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and telehealth settings. I've sat with patients in crisis at 2 a.m. and walked alongside others through quiet, steady progress over months — I value both of those moments equally.

I work with adults and geriatric populations, managing conditions including ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, PTSD, OCD, panic disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia, sleep disorders, substance use disorders, and eating disorders. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy techniques, tailored to each individual's needs and goals. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment — your story matters, and your care plan should reflect that.

I understand that seeking help takes courage — sometimes it's the hardest step in the entire process — and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or optimizing your current treatment plan, I'm here to partner with you on your journey toward wellness. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

I'm also proud to have contributed to clinical research, including co-authoring work presented at a national conference and participating in a BLS competence study at Duke University, keeping my care grounded in the latest evidence. I look forward to working with you.

Therapist

I specialize in supporting women through major life transitions and personal shifts, as well as challenges related to boundaries, self-trust, self-worth, and emotional resilience. I also work with women who find themselves repeating unhelpful relational patterns or struggling with overwhelm, stress, and uncertainty. In my trauma work, I incorporate Brainspotting, a brain-body modality that helps process trauma, emotional stress, and experiences that may feel difficult to access through talk therapy alone. I also support clients navigating grief and loss in its many forms. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your ability to cope, and move toward healing and meaningful change in a way that feels sustainable.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Fanta—yes, like the soda (and yes, there's a story behind it, but of course it has nothing to do with soda!). With nearly 20 years in the mental health field and over a decade providing therapy, I've walked alongside children, families, couples, and adults as they’ve faced some of life’s toughest moments.

I truly believe that “the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Life brings challenges, but how we respond to them shapes our path forward. I’ve been there too, and I know how important it is to feel supported as you find your way through.

My goal is to work with you—not for you or around you, but with you—as you build the tools and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. We’ll work together to recognize negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you.

More than anything, I’m here to create a space that feels safe, empathetic, and judgment-free. A space where you can be fully you, speak your truth, and start to heal.
