Dr. Hector Colon-Rivera, MD, VA | Addiction Specialist

About Dr. Hector Colon-Rivera

I've spent my career specializing in three critical and underserved areas: behavioral addictions with complex comorbidities, male-specific psychiatric presentations, and sports performance psychiatry. My patient population includes collegiate and professional athletes, executives treating ADHD and burnout, men navigating life transitions, and adolescent athletes for whom competitive sports and mental health are inseparable. I also provide family systems guidance to parents navigating the pressures of youth athletics. I created Intrinsic Me™ Psychiatry after years of working with individuals who were carrying unresolved trauma, burnout, and emotional strain, yet never felt truly seen or supported. Too often, mental health care reduces people to symptoms or diagnoses. My patients wanted clarity, meaningful progress, and a path back to feeling like themselves.
