Hector A. Colón-Rivera board-certified psychiatrist

I'm Hector A. Colón-Rivera, MD, a quintuple board-certified psychiatrist and community leader.

…and a provider who truly understands the burden of holding it all together.

I launched Intrinsic Me™ Psychiatry after years in hospitals, community clinics, and public health systems. I've witnessed countless people suffer in silence, uncertain where to seek help, and too often feeling dismissed in their care. I created it to bring genuine compassion and connection.

I am board-certified in:

  • General Psychiatry & Neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology (ABPN)

  • Addiction Psychiatry by the ABPN

  • Adolescent Psychiatry by the American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry

  • Sport and Performance Psychiatry by the American Board of Sport & Performance Psychiatry

  • Addiction Medicine by the American Board
    of Preventive Medicine
