I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in both California and Florida. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, sleep disorders, and substance use concerns.
I have a particular interest in supporting individuals with treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, panic symptoms, trauma-related conditions, and LGBTQ+ mental health. My approach is thoughtful, inclusive, and individualized—focused on helping each person find the treatment plan that works best for them.
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. I later earned my Bachelor’s degree in Public Health, became a Registered Nurse, and ultimately pursued my calling as a PMHNP.
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.
I became a mental health provider because I believe everyone deserves to be heard.
My practice is built on a level of clinical depth that sets my care apart: my background includes extensive hands-on experience in high-acuity inpatient psychiatric units, comprehensive outpatient clinics, and active service as a Mental Health Nurse in the U.S. Air Force.
At Mental Clarity Psychiatry, I take an integrative, unhurried approach to whole-person care, focusing on how your physical health, lifestyle, and unique life story impact your mind. My goal is to build a partnership based on true trust rather than just managing symptoms, combining clinical expertise with personalized guidance to help you find a sustainable path back to yourself. Please call 689-349-8700 for more information.
Denise Chandler, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP Family Nurse Practitioner • Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner • Women’s Health Specialist
Hello, my name is Denise Chandler. I have been an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse since 2011 and bring more than 23 years of nursing experience. I hold Master’s degrees in Nursing Healthcare Education and Family Practice and am certified in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health.
For over a decade, I worked exclusively in Women’s Health Care, where I developed a deep understanding of how hormonal changes affect physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Today, I provide care for men, women, and youth ages 14 and older who may be experiencing hormone-related changes, mood disorders, or life transitions.
Common concerns I treat include menopause, perimenopause, PMDD, puberty, and menstrual irregularities such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and anemia. I also address sexual health concerns like painful sex, orgasmic dysfunction, and low libido, as well as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic, insomnia, stress, fatigue, and weight management challenges.
My approach emphasizes whole-person care. I order lab work when needed, use genetic testing to guide safer medication choices, and educate on vitamins and supplements that may support healing. I frequently collaborate with therapists and counselors to enhance outcomes.
With clinical experience in neurology, cardiology, mental health, emergency medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics, and years as an educator, I make complex health concepts simple and actionable. Whether in person or virtually, I create a safe, open environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to restore balance and improve quality of life.
Welcome! Taking the first step toward mental wellness takes courage, and I am here to support you in a safe, non-judgmental space. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in a holistic, compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered approach to care. My goal is to build trust and develop a strong therapeutic relationship with you. By considering your physical health, lifestyle, and social factors alongside your mental health, we can work together to achieve your long-term well-being. You deserve to feel empowered, understood, and supported throughout your entire journey.

Through secure telehealth, I support individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional regulation challenges, and major life transitions.
This space is for real conversations, clarity, and care without judgment.

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 Lithia
Finding psychiatrists in Lithia starts with understanding the type of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy and other forms of support, and both can be valid entry points depending on what you need. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see who may match your needs.
Lithia is a smaller community, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search while keeping care accessible from home, and some people also consider in-person options in nearby communities like Valrico, Brandon, and Plant City. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand appointment style, focus areas, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Lithia can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and other prescribing clinicians who are accepting new patients and match your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re 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.
