Jonson Job Lin, MD

Jonson Job Lin, MD is a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist dedicated to neuro-inflammatory biomarker–guided, trauma-informed care. He integrates neuroscience with compassion, combining top-down Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with bottom-up approaches including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, modified EMDR, Narrative Exposure Therapy, and story work. His model helps patients move through—not around—the felt stigma of brain-based disorders by embodying honor and compassion. This approach restores brain coherence and addresses root-cause drivers of psychiatric symptoms through a combination of medication, nutrition, multi-sensory therapies, and relational presence.

Dr. Lin studied Physiological Sciences at UCLA and earned a BS-equivalent degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences, with advanced training in UCSD Spinal Rehabilitation. During medical school, he completed rotations in the UK at Oxford University’s John Radcliffe Hospital in Paediatric Cardiology, deepening his multidisciplinary training. His training included two years of Pediatrics and Medicine residency in New Jersey, where he applied biomarker insights from acute inpatient medicine into his precision psychiatry practice.

He is a Diplomate in Cognitive Therapy, recipient of the Clinical Excellence Award in both Child Psychiatry and General Psychiatry residency at Drexel University, and a Fellow of Psychiatry Redefined (link). Dr. Lin was also selected by AACAP’s Early Career Research Cohort. His integrated work spans executive and positive sports psychology coaching for ADHD, and couple-focused grief and betrayal recovery coaching using Jake Porter’s model. Validated as a Functional Psychiatrist for Northern California Kaiser, his closed-loop, interventional psychiatry consultations have helped treatment-resistant TMS and esketamine patients achieve durable remission.
