Lufei Young, PhD, APRN, PMHNP/BC
​
Lufei considers herself a Nebraskan, having lived in Nebraska for over two decades since leaving her homeland, China. She earned her PhD in nursing and an Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide, is often influenced by maladaptive autonomic responses to stress, as outlined in stress theory. After spending twenty years working in cardiac rehabilitation for older adults with cardiovascular conditions, Lufei realized that preventing heart disease complications is impossible unless maladaptive stress responses from childhood are addressed. She later received training as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner from Georgia State University. Her long-term goal is to focus on preventive psychiatry and psychological rehabilitation for children and young adults by emphasizing both medication and non-medication approaches that involve their families.
