Denise Chandler, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP Family Nurse Practitioner • Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner • Women’s Health Specialist
Hello, my name is Denise Chandler. I have been an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse since 2011 and bring more than 23 years of nursing experience. I hold Master’s degrees in Nursing Healthcare Education and Family Practice and am certified in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health.
For over a decade, I worked exclusively in Women’s Health Care, where I developed a deep understanding of how hormonal changes affect physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Today, I provide care for men, women, and youth ages 14 and older who may be experiencing hormone-related changes, mood disorders, or life transitions.
Common concerns I treat include menopause, perimenopause, PMDD, puberty, and menstrual irregularities such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and anemia. I also address sexual health concerns like painful sex, orgasmic dysfunction, and low libido, as well as ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic, insomnia, stress, fatigue, and weight management challenges.
My approach emphasizes whole-person care. I order lab work when needed, use genetic testing to guide safer medication choices, and educate on vitamins and supplements that may support healing. I frequently collaborate with therapists and counselors to enhance outcomes.
With clinical experience in neurology, cardiology, mental health, emergency medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics, and years as an educator, I make complex health concepts simple and actionable. Whether in person or virtually, I create a safe, open environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to restore balance and improve quality of life.

This is a telehealth practice. As a personal choice, the use of narcotics or other controlled (DEA) meds are minimal, if any. I've been a psych nurse practitioner for at least 14yrs. I believe in managing conditions with psychiatric and non-psychiatric treatment modalities that are evidence based. The use of the least amount of meds, at lower doses that does the healing of symptoms, is an active process involving the client and based on the reported experiences. Safety is the core of my practice and my job is to help clients understand internal signals and how to prevent another crisis.
I'm Dr. Claudia Rivero, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, founder of Be Balanced Mental Health.

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!
