Dr. Claudia Rivero

I'm Dr. Claudia Rivero, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, founder of Be Balanced Mental Health.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, struggling to focus, or finding it difficult to keep up with the demands of daily life, you're not alone. I help children, adolescents, and adults across Florida navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional dysregulation, burnout, and life transitions through evidence-based psychiatric care and supportive therapy.

I believe in a holistic, collaborative, patient-centered approach and remain committed to continuous professional development while upholding ethical practices. My ultimate goal is to support clients on their journey towards improved mental well-being. If you are ready to feel more balanced and in control, I'd be honored to support your and be part of your mental health journey!

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and solution-focused. I believe successful treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not just symptoms. Together we will identify patterns, explore contributing factors, and develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, supportive psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and practical coping strategies. My goal is for every client to feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care.

During our first appointment, we'll take time to discuss your concerns, mental health history, symptoms, goals, and any previous treatment experiences. I will conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. Many clients leave the first session feeling relieved, understood, and hopeful because they finally have a clear path forward.
