Founder and Creator of The Mentally STRONG Method
Dr. Cristi Bundukamara — Dr. B — is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience and the founder of Mentally STRONG. She created the Mentally STRONG Method after decades of working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and major life transitions, and after facing profound personal loss herself. Her approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience. That combination is rare. And it's woven into everything Mentally STRONG does.
Dr. B, originally from Miami, FL, and her husband have seven children. Her family’s health challenges have shaped her resilient approach to mental health. At Mentally STRONG, she empowers others through the Mentally STRONG Method to build resilience and improve well-being.
