Let’s Rethink Mental Health Together

I became a psychiatrist because I saw a major gap in conventional care. Too many patients feel stuck—their mental health challenges reduced to a checklist of symptoms, rather than fully explored with compassion.

My psychiatric service is founded on a different set of principles: empathy, curiosity, and a commitment to helping patients achieve alignment in both body and mind.

My Story

As a board-certified psychiatrist with nearly two decades of experience, I’ve worked with children, adolescents, and adults in both outpatient and acute care settings. I treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Mood and anxiety disorders
  • ADHD
  • OCD
  • Trauma-related concerns
  • Autism spectrum and developmental disorders,
  • And more

In my psychiatric services, I draw on psychodynamic principles. That means I don’t just look at symptoms—I take the time to understand your unique psychological makeup, your past and current relationships, and your family dynamics. This context helps guide both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in a way that’s deeply personal and effective.

I also believe there is a deep connection between physical and mental health. Restorative sleep, a nutrient-dense diet, and regular physical movement can significantly improve the effects of therapy and medication.

I also believe in practicing what I preach, and maintain my own routines in yoga, functional movement, and most recently, the fascinating and challenging art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

My Mission

To help you achieve alignment in both body and mind by combining psychiatric services with holistic healing methods. That means moving beyond symptom management and treating the whole you—giving you the tools you need to unlock your full potential and overcome patterns that limit your potential.

What Patients Say About Their Experience

Heather Miller

Under the care of Dr. Young I’ve transitioned from an adulthood of worsening, treatment-resistant symptoms to a woman with a vibrant life and hope-filled future.

Dr. Young is honest, compassionate, and skilled. His staff are likewise conscientious, kind, competent, and on-time.

I knew something had to change in my mental health care—more of the same wasn’t working. Dr. Young’s partnership / guidance has been the differentiator.

If you’re looking to get better and do some root cause analysis & healing, I can’t recommend Dr. Young and team highly enough.

Visit Me in Del Mar

My office is located inside the Hacienda Del Mar, a serene, Spanish-style courtyard building in Del Mar. It’s not just a place for appointments—it’s a safe and inviting space where patients feel at ease the moment they arrive. You’ll love the courtyard, the soft ocean air, and a live projected wildlife feed that quietly reminds us all to stay resilient and mindful, no matter what comes our way.
