Cassandra Stell is a board-certified Doctoral Nurse Practitioner. She started her career as a Registered Nurse in a busy urban hospital. After 12 years, she decided she wanted to expand her passion of helping others and earned her Nurse Practitioner and Master's in the Science of Nursing degrees. From over three decades on the healthcare frontlines, she has come to understand that without emotional health, there is no true physical health. It is now Cassandra’s mission to increase access to mental health care for all individuals. In 2022, she returned to school to begin work on her Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree. In her free time, she loves to wander through small towns of the world, dance, spoil her nieces and nephews, and volunteer for underserved communities.
