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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Port Richey
Finding psychiatrists in New Port Richey starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists offer talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, or OCD. 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, clinical focus, and experience match what you want support for.
In a smaller city like New Port Richey, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Florida markets, so virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists available to you. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, which makes schedule fit important. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their approach, appointment format, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatry in New Port Richey can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you compare psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, review virtual and in-person options, and confirm which clinicians match your plan, making it easier to find care that fits your needs, schedule, and coverage.
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.
