Hi, I’m Dr. Jenny Yung. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I am a general adult psychiatrist with many years’ experience working in the Northern Virginia area. I am originally from New York City, where the exposure to the vast array of humanity and cultures nurtured my interest in learning people’s stories, appreciating differences in the way we think, and investigating the fine line between disorders versus the range of “normal” human behavior.

I am interested in treatment of mood, anxiety, and psychotic spectrum disorders, but given how often conditions overlap and how different symptoms arise throughout our lifespan, I am comfortable treating a range of mental health problems. I take a non-judgmental, evidence-based and collaborative approach with the goal of improving your health. Although my focus is medication management, I also utilize principles from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy.

Outside of medications and therapy I believe strongly that healthy lifestyle habits are essential to emotional well-being. I hope to work with you and see if these are areas of potential change.
