About us
Hi, I'm Kristen!
Kristen Nagl, CRNP-PMH
Medical Director
What I do at Aspire.
I am a highly skilled psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals navigating mental health challenges. With a focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment, I empower clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and a commitment to fostering each individual’s personal growth and well-being, supporting them in realizing their full potential.
Why I became a Doctor/Nurse.
I chose to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner because I have always been passionate about mental health and the profound impact it has on overall well-being. Throughout my nursing career, I witnessed firsthand how mental health challenges affect individuals, families, and communities. This inspired me to pursue advanced practice so I could provide compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers patients to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Why I chose to work at Aspire.
Aspire’s mission and commitment to holistic, patient-centered mental health care align with my personal values as a provider. The organization fosters an environment where collaboration, innovation, and compassionate care are prioritized, allowing me to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. I was drawn to Aspire’s dedication to expanding access to quality mental health services and the opportunity to work alongside a team that shares my passion for helping others.
My Hobbies and Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, Pilates, exercising, hiking and eating healthy. Engaging in these activities helps me recharge and maintain balance in my personal and professional life. I also have a deep appreciation for continuous learning, whether through professional development or exploring new perspectives in psychology and mental health.
