About the Owner

Hello! I am Karena and I am the founder of Redefine Mental Health & Wellness. I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and a lifelong resident of Hastings. I am intimately familiar with the distinct opportunities and challenges presented by our small town's proximity to the Twin Cities. I have over two decades of nursing experience, and much of my career has been spent aiding individuals grappling with mental health issues.

 

My goal is to empower patients to lead the lives they desire by identifying treatments that cater to their specific needs. Through careful assessment and collaborative planning, we will develop a sensible treatment strategy that may encompass medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle adjustments, nutritional analysis, exercise, and meditation.​ ​
