Dr. Yung Park is a Psychiatrist who leads Elevate Medical's Certified SPRAVATO® Treatment Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York for Treatment Resistant Depression and Suicidality.
The pandemic 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.
She believes that you are your own therapist and you have the answers to heal. The journey begins by awakening your inner consciousness.
Dr. Park enjoys exploring nature trails throughout New York state with SaLang and Mandu and beautifying the land by conserving, reusing and giving back to it. She also marvels at bird watching and holds a kinship for female cardinals.
