Dr. Sandra Risoldi (Dr. Sandy to many) loves working with patients, meeting them where they are, and developing a plan of action with the patient to help them achieve their mental wellness goals.

Dr. Sandy has grown up in nursing and is proud of her roots. Starting as a nurse's aide helper at 16 years old and climbing every rank in nursing.  Shortly after finishing her Doctorate, completing the first violence prevention program for healthcare workers, Dr. Risoldi enrolled in the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Post Grad/Doctorate program. 

With over 32 years in nursing, working in med-surg, telemetry, emergency room, organ transplants, skilled/assistant living environments, corrections, pediatrics, substance detox units, and acute mental health units, including psychiatric emergencies, it is important to build relationships and treat each patient with respect, dignity, and be the change that healthcare needs.
