I am a dedicated mental health professional who supports children and adults through life’s challenges. I currently provide individual therapy only and do not offer couples counseling. My background in behavioral health and social services, along with hands-on community experience, has shaped my practical, compassionate, and solution-focused approach.
I have worked with individuals involved in the justice system, people living with serious mental illness, children in foster care, and families navigating behavioral or developmental concerns. My experience includes case management, crisis support, employment readiness, behavioral coaching, and coordinating care with medical providers, mental health facilities, and community programs to ensure consistent, long-term support.
I help clients facing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, behavioral challenges in children and teens, parenting and co-parenting concerns, and reintegration after legal involvement. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I believe everyone has resilience and the ability to grow with the right support.
My style is warm, honest, and structured. I value accountability while always leading with empathy and respect. I focus on building coping skills, improving communication, setting clear goals, and developing practical strategies that support emotional balance and independence.
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.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I believe healthcare should be a partnership, not a prescription. My approach combines advanced clinical skills with a deep commitment to patient advocacy, ensuring every individual has the tools and confidence to take charge of their health. I specialize in creating personalized treatment plans that honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."
I am board certified in Family Practice as well as Psychiatry and have been in practice for 25 year. I work with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, bipolar disorder, as well as address physical symptoms or issues that may affect mental health. I hold a Doctorate degree in education and Master Degrees in Advance Practice Nursing and education.
Hi, I’m Melissa, I have 16 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with warmth, empathy and hope. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, stress, personality disorders, mood dysregulation, relational issues, eating disorders, life transitions, and struggles with self-worth or identity. I have expertise supporting postpartum mothers, active duty service members, professionals, adults, families and adolescents. I earned my Masters of Social Work from Columbia University in New York City. Above all, I believe meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Together, we'll work toward helping you create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling.
Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.
I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.
