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 know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
My goal is to help you overcome the challenges you are facing in a safe and comfortable environment to help you improve your quality of life. My passion is helping those with substance use disorders, including alcohol and opioid use disorder, safely detox from the substances and work towards a meaningful and long-lasting recovery. With a decade of experience serving a wide range of patients I am a dual-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in Rancho Cucamonga starts with knowing what type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can evaluate mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor your response over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also diagnose and prescribe medication. Both provider types are available through Headway for residents of Rancho Cucamonga and surrounding Inland Empire communities like Fontana, Claremont, and Ontario.
When choosing a provider, consider their experience with your specific concerns — whether that's ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or something else. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and personality before you book. Some providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can ask questions and confirm it feels like a good fit.
Psychiatry sessions in the Inland Empire can be costly out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session.
