“Jonathan Tapia is the first mental health provider I’ve ever had who genuinely made me feel seen, heard, and cared for. From our very first appointment, he spoke to me like a real person, not just another patient. He listened closely to my struggles and showed true compassion and understanding. After many negative experiences with past providers and years of medications that never helped, my mental health had become almost unbearable, especially while dealing with a stressful legal situation. Jonathan was different. He took the time to truly understand me and made thoughtful medication changes that have already made a significant difference. For the first time in a long while, I’m starting to love myself again and remember who I am. I have complete faith in Jonathan and his ability to help me heal. His empathy and dedication to his patients are rare, and he should be a model for how every mental health provider treats their clients. He is truly an amazing provider and person.”

Getting to know Dr. Delia E Nieves-Arvelo

I am a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience in adult psychiatry, addiction medicine, and telepsychiatry. With over a decade of clinical practice, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate and evidence-based mental health care to diverse patient populations. I earned my medical degree from Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra and completed my psychiatry residency at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, where I served as Chief Resident. My background includes working in various healthcare settings, including outpatient clinics, telehealth services, and hospital-based psychiatry. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and co-occurring conditions. My approach to care is collaborative and patient-centered, ensuring that each individual receives personalized treatment tailored to their unique needs. Whether through psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both, my goal is to help my patients achieve stability, resilience, and overall well-being. I am licensed to practice in New York, California, and Florida. I am excited to join Regions Praxis Care as a Psychiatrist, where I will lead a dedicated team in providing high-quality psychiatric care. Our practice is committed to offering both in-person and virtual mental health services, ensuring accessibility and comprehensive treatment for our patients. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered in their mental health journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As a psychiatrist, I believe in a collaborative, patient-centered approach to mental health care. I understand that every individual’s journey is unique, and I tailor my treatment plans to meet the specific needs of each patient. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and working toward meaningful change. I take a holistic and evidence-based approach, integrating medication management, psychotherapy techniques, and lifestyle interventions to support your mental well-being. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and co-occurring conditions, always considering the biological, psychological, and social factors that impact mental health. During our sessions, you can expect a thoughtful and thorough evaluation, open communication, and a shared decision-making process. I will listen to your concerns, provide professional guidance, and work with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and preferences. My ultimate aim is to empower you with the tools, support, and strategies needed to regain stability, resilience, and overall well-being—whether through therapy, medication, or a combination of both. I look forward to working together on your journey toward better mental health.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My Process for Working with Clients When working with me, you can expect a structured yet personalized approach to your mental health care. My process involves thorough assessment, diagnosis, and collaborative treatment planning to ensure the best possible outcomes for you. Initial Consultation (First Session) The first session is an in-depth psychiatric evaluation, where I take the time to understand your medical and mental health history, current concerns, and personal goals. We will discuss: ?? Your symptoms and how they impact your daily life ?? Past treatments, medications, and therapeutic experiences ?? Personal, social, and family history ?? Any medical conditions or lifestyle factors that may be relevant This session allows me to formulate an accurate diagnosis and recommend the most effective treatment plan, whether it includes medication management, psychotherapy, lifestyle modifications, or a combination of approaches. Ongoing Treatment (Follow-up Sessions) Subsequent sessions focus on monitoring progress, adjusting treatments as needed, and providing ongoing support. Depending on your needs, our follow-ups may involve: ?? Medication management – Evaluating how medications are working for you, adjusting dosages if necessary, and addressing any side effects or concerns ?? Talk therapy techniques – While I do not provide full-length psychotherapy, I integrate therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and psychoeducation to support your mental wellness ?? Goal setting and coping strategies – Working together to develop healthy coping skills, lifestyle changes, and emotional resilience My Approach to Care I believe in open communication and shared decision-making, meaning you will always have a voice in your treatment plan. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported in your journey toward better mental health. My goal is to help you regain balance, resilience, and an imp

The doctor found medicine for people with Asperger syndrome even the masses are not for Asperger’s. There’s no medicine, but she found something that helps people with autism to help me stay focused in college so I can make friends and do great. She was a great listener, and I look forward to having her write recommendation to the university of Georgia for me.

Dr. Neives-Arvilo was wonderful ! She asked great questions, ?’s I would’ve NEVER thought of, she delved in to issues that I feel were important for her to diagnose me & prescribe the right medications for me, she explained the medication treatment plan, made sure I understood & agreed w/the med treatment plan. She also mentioned some things to help me in my depression/anxiety/my thought processes, as far as to be aware of triggers, made very helpful suggestions. Overall, I was VERY PLEASED with her & have an appt. W/her in 2 weeks. The office is excellent w/pre-appointment communications & is very thorough w/appt. Reminders, have a phone # you can call and text for help. No would recommend this office to anyone struggling w/needing a psychiatry doctor & she was very knowledgeable. I just love her !!
