Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Sparks, NV

Hi, I’m Eliza Rivera-Mitu, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, as well as the psychiatric challenges in autism. With a background in both psychiatry and family medicine, I take a holistic approach that considers the whole person—not just the diagnosis. I'm passionate about helping you feel heard, empowered, and supported in your mental health journey.

I am a nurse practitioner with dual certifications in family practice and psychiatric mental health. My passion for holistic care drives my integrated approach, addressing both primary care and mental health to meet my patients' diverse needs. I provide care that considers the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of each individual. By blending evidence-based practices with empathetic listening, I empower patients to take an active role in their health journey and achieve optimal outcomes.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Nevada. I graduated with my Master of Science in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling in 2009 and hold three degrees in the field of counseling/psychology. I am within several classes of achieving a second Master's degree in the field of substance abuse treatment. I have additional formal and practical training in the areas of trauma informed care, impulse control/anger management, crisis intervention, and cognitive behavioral modification strategies. I have worked with a wide variety of populations including co-occurring disorders (substance and mental health), at risk youth, and various other adult high risk/high need populations in both intensive inpatient and outpatient settings. Throughout my years of experience, I have worked at length with the majority of DSM V diagnosed disorders.

Stepping into therapy is a profound commitment to yourself, and I am here to ensure you have a supportive, empathetic partner for that journey. I am Fayedra Mumme, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate the weight of sadness, worry, and critical self-talk. I specialize in supporting adults through trauma, grief, and significant life transitions, providing a space where your experiences are truly seen and understood. I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives by fostering a relationship rooted in transparency, honesty, and the vulnerability necessary for true healing.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important element of our work together. I make a dedicated effort to see your world through your eyes, ensuring that you feel respected and validated regardless of the challenges you face. Whether you are managing long-standing anxiety or navigating a recent loss, I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during our time together. When I am not working with clients, I focus on maintaining my own emotional well-being and balance, which allows me to remain a grounded and present advocate for your growth.
