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 am Dr. De Jesus Rivera, medical director at Self Improvement Psychiatry. We specialize in top notch, personalized, psychiatric services through telemedicine. I do a in depth evaluation without you feeling rushed. Together, we come up with a treatment plan that you feel comfortable with. We also have a HIPAA compliant texting system for easy communication and timely responses should any problems arise in between appointments.
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan, and I work with adults and seniors navigating a range of mental health challenges — including bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorders, sleep difficulties, and more. My greatest strength is building genuine, trusting relationships with my patients. I take the time to listen without judgment, understand each person's unique needs, and create individualized treatment plans that help you feel supported and empowered throughout your mental health journey. Outside of work, I recharge by spending time with my family, traveling, and staying active outdoors.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Lutz
Finding psychiatrists in Lutz starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication plans. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and stress. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match the kind of support you want.
Lutz is a smaller market near the greater Tampa Bay area, so local psychiatrist availability may vary. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you meet with a licensed psychiatrist in Florida. Psychiatric care often follows a different rhythm than therapy: medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than talk therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Before booking, review each psychiatrist’s bio for appointment format, availability, clinical focus, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in Lutz can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you compare psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you find a psychiatrist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
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.
