Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to navigate alone, but they can also be an opportunity for meaningful change. I offer an integrative approach to address the root causes of what you’re experiencing. Treatment may include medications when helpful, while attention to sleep, nutrition, movement, and social connectedness helps strengthen long-term resilience and well-being. Using a therapeutic approach, we offer space to explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools for change. I am here to help you feel better, live meaningfully, and thrive.

Hi, I’m Yen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is truly passionate about helping people feel seen, heard, and supported. My journey in healthcare began many years ago as a Medication Technician and CNA, where I learned the importance of patience, compassion, and meeting people exactly where they are.

These experiences have shaped the way I care for others. I understand that every person’s story is unique, and my goal is to walk alongside you with understanding, warmth, and respect. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or simply seeking a space to feel grounded again, I’m here to support you and your family on your path toward healing and emotional well-being.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Altamonte Springs
Finding psychiatrists in Altamonte Springs starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support. Both can be valid places to start, depending on what you are looking for. Psychiatric care may be used for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, background, and approach match the care you want.
In a smaller city like Altamonte Springs, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still giving you access to care from home, and in-person visits may work well if you prefer an office nearby in Altamonte Springs, Maitland, Winter Park, or Casselberry. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also provide therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Read bios before booking to compare specialties, appointment availability, session style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Altamonte Springs can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes that process simpler by helping you look for psychiatrists who may match your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can compare profiles, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
