Dr. Young is an incredibly caring, competent and insightful psychiatrist. He goes above and beyond to meet the needs of his patients and the family unit with his truly compassionate bedside manner, his brilliant approach and insights, which are focused on the whole person (physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually) to help them find that path to becoming whole.

I found Dr. Young thru the Psychology Today website. My nephew is suffering from severe depression and recent hospital stay on a 5150 for suicidal ideation. Dr. Young is so perfect! He has a holistic approach and does not overmedicate. He is very personable and my nephew feels comfortable in his care. His approach is very caring, practical, and supportive. I would highly recommend him!
