I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My philosophy is an integrative approach in treating the whole person -- including the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. I emphasize education so you feel empowered and understand why medication may be necessary, what the medication is, and why you are taking it. While medications are an important part of treatment, they are often times not the long-term solution. We can carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks to find the best option for you.
My primary goal is to make sure that I provide the best care to my patients. In some cases, the limitations of outpatient treatment do not allow the ability to provide the level of care that I think you deserve. I can provide feedback, temporary services, and assistance with referral options.
“I am deeply grateful to Michael for his unwavering support during my mental health and alcohol recovery journey. From the start, he has been compassionate and genuinely invested in my well-being.

If you or someone you know is facing a similar struggle, I highly recommend Michael and his team.”
As a Yale trained Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, with a Master's Degree in Psychology, and extensive training in both psychiatry and psychology, I am able to provide holistic, comprehensive, person-centered care.
My commitment to you, is to treat not only the most overt symptoms you are experiencing, but explore all contributing factors, and root causes, to develop a deeper understanding of how to best meet your goals. From this full-scope of awareness, and insight, we will collaboratively work to create an integrative care plan that brings meaningful, sustainable, changes that improve your quality of life, and overall wellbeing.
I understand the courage of vulnerability needed to share openly about your hopes and struggles. I ensure that your trust is respected and protected, with open dialogue, collaboration, and genuine connection. I am committed to consistency in prioritizing your needs, availability and responsiveness in communication, and transparency in all aspects of care.
Whether you are considering medication for the first time or seeking a second opinion, my approach is collaborative and evidence-based. I treat a variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, attention deficit, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress, and postpartum mood disorders. Patients often describe my approach as attentive, supportive, and thorough. My passions for mental health advocacy, research and clinical work are inspired by my respect for the diversity of human experience and our capacity for profound growth and healing.

SimaPaul M.D. is a licensed physician practicing psychiatry in NJ, NY, PA. She works with adults of all ages, adolescents and children. Many of Dr. Paul’s patients are looking for treatment to address anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, ADHD, OCD, and identity issues. Dr. Paul is particularly passionate about serving young adults and adolescents, being it is a time of transition and changes for a person of this age. Often anxiety and depression are particularly high in this age groups. But she is also comfortable treating older adults and children. Dr. Paul has advanced training in the areas of ADHD, OCD, anxiety, and depression.
Dr. Paul is trained in medication management for target symptoms. When patients are able to verbalize their symptoms and what changes they would like to see over time, psychiatric medications can be a treatment option that is very helpful for some. Specific symptoms are looked at to help guide the response to certain medications that are tried. Most people are happy with the results they feel when a specific medication is suggested to try. In session, Dr. Paul focuses on relaxation skills and deep breathing to help patients feel comfortable when trying to express what emotions they are feeling. This approach supports patients and validates what they are feeling. When the recommended medication is started, most people are happy with the results because they start feeling better. Most patients will experience an improvement in whatever target symptoms ultimately lead them to get treatment in the first place.
Dr. Paul's style is direct, straightforward, and compassionate. When Dr. Paul first starts to work with a patient she tries to understand what exactly they are feeling and what exactly are their symptoms; in their own words. She will try to get the patient to describe as best as they can what they are feeling without interrupting them. One of Dr. Paul’s best traits is that she is a very good listener.
Dr. Paul received her medical training from St. Luke's -Roosevelt Hospital Center Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. She contributes a great deal of her knowledge of psychiatry care from the years she spent working in the psychiatric emergency room in the heart of New York City during her residency training. Outside of private practice, gardening and reading are activities she finds enjoyable and relaxing. She encourages patients she works with to find and use different hobbies, activities and interests as a therapeutic outlet.
Dr. Paul is only doing telepsychiatry. Most patients find that it is a very comfortable setting for them. Dr. Paul is able to engage with her patients and feels comfortable talking to them using this platform. It is a very natural and convenient platform for most people to use or to get used to after a few sessions online. It really does work smoothly for the most part and it's the modern world we live in today.
Yung Park, MD leads Elevate Medical's Certified SPRAVATO® Treatment Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York for Treatment Resistant Depression and Suicidality, serving patients in Midtown Manhattan and Danbury, CT.
While practicing internal medicine and psychiatry for the past 20 years, Dr. Yung Park is most passionate about Mental Wellness, recognizing that our physical and emotional well being are intertwined--influencing the other. Nurturing both, optimizes both. Neglecting one, limits the other. Sometimes physical symptoms manifest or amplify from underlying emotional turbulence. Other times, mental health symptoms are secondary to a medical root cause.
The pandemic of 2020 shook the world and our minds. It provided an opportunity for an awakening within each of us--reassessing what is important and asking ourselves, "Who am I," and "What have I been doing?" We have become tired of the external linear motivations of the world. Consciousness is rising. Our craving to know ourselves from within is an authentic innate curiosity of being human that gets blocked from years of developing the armor called our ego.
Dr. Park's internal motivation is to assist those who are seeking to know themselves more, desiring to love themselves more, to be kinder to themselves so to live in this world in harmony and peace from within amidst the chaos of our everyday life.
Dr. Park believes that you are your own therapist and you have the answers to heal. The journey begins by awakening your inner consciousness.
During her downtime, Dr. Park enjoys spending it with her family, SaLang and Mandu exploring nature trails throughout Upstate New York and beautifying the land by conserving, reusing and giving back to it.
