I received my Bachelors in Psychology from Bethune Cookman University & my Masters in Social Work from Barry University. Born and raised in Denver, CO I come from a blended, military family which has developed a great passion for me working with children and their families providing them with dedication, support, skills and resources to address their needs. I have over 6 years of experience providing services in a variety of settings to diverse youth and their families.
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!
Hi there! I'm licensed in Florida (LMHC) and New Mexico (LPCC). Clients that come to see me primarily are adults or college students presenting with trauma, relationship issues, boundary issues, and anxiety disorders. I love working with individual clients and creating a safe space. I believe the therapeutic relationship and therapeutic fit is foundational to successful therapy.
I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can openly process difficult emotions and life transitions. I specialize in grief and loss, and also help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to aging, caregiving, and end-of-life concerns. My approach is warm, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to help you feel understood, build resilience, and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, or dealing with ongoing stress in your relationships or family? You may feel stuck in the same patterns, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals and families across Florida and Georgia who are navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Together, we create a supportive space where you can understand what you’re experiencing and begin building a path toward clarity, stability, and healthier connections.
My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I want to walk alongside you and help to empower you. Together, we find hope.
I am dedicated to the mental health field and have been both a therapist and a clinical supervisor. My areas of knowledge include trauma, depression, grief, anxiety, adjustment disorder, substance abuse, ADHD, self-esteem issues, and life transition difficulties. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida and Ohio with 14 years of direct counseling experience. Supporting and guiding clients through difficult traumas and life's challenges in a safe and nonjudgmental environment is what I strive for.
My goal is to assist children, adolescents, and adults to reach their highest potential and to help couples and families live more harmonious and joyful lives together.
My passion is to support, uplift and encourage those in my community. Let's work together to start living a better-quality life one session at a time.
Hello, and welcome.
Seeking support can be one of the most courageous steps a person takes, and I believe therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and genuinely supported. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move toward the life you want to live.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor with extensive experience working with adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Throughout my career, I have worked in outpatient, residential, and community-based settings, helping individuals navigate some of life's most difficult experiences while rediscovering their strengths and sense of purpose.
In addition to my clinical experience, I am a United States Air Force combat veteran and former first responder. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the unique challenges associated with high-stress professions, trauma exposure, operational demands, transition struggles, and the pressure of carrying significant responsibility while managing your own well-being. As a result, I have a particular passion for working with veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others whose careers require them to care for others while often neglecting themselves.
Sometimes life can feel like more than you know how to carry. You may be dealing with anxiety that keeps your mind racing, depression that makes it difficult to feel like yourself, substance use that has become harder to manage, grief that doesn't seem to have an ending, or relationship and family challenges that leave you feeling emotionally drained. You may also be navigating a major life change, adjusting to a loss, or simply trying to understand why you’re feeling differently than you used to. As a bilingual and bicultural English- and Spanish-speaking therapist, I work with adults, older adults, couples, and families and bring more than 26 years of experience helping people navigate complex and difficult seasons of life.
Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University.
