Young Adult Mental Health

Young adulthood — the period between the ages of 18 and 25 — is a time of significant personal growth and change. You might be continuing your education, starting a career, beginning to explore serious relationships, and becoming more independent from your family.

The changes and decisions that often define this period of life can feel challenging, stressful, and overwhelming. This is also the time when many people start experiencing mental health symptoms, as most mental health conditions present by age 25 or earlier.

Although Dr. Simone specializes in working with adults of all ages, she developed a particular interest in the young adult population during her time at UCLA. She worked with many UCLA undergraduate and graduate students in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

She has extensive experience working with students, recent graduates, and young working professionals. She currently consults for a young adult IOP / PHP in West LA.

Dr. Simone is Board Certified in Young Adult and Adolescent Psychiatry through the American Board of Adolescent Psychiatry and American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry.
