Cassy Lensing is a tattooed, dyed haired former wild child.  She’s also a devoted mother and board certified Psych Nurse Practitioner.  In this episode, Cassy talks about how getting pregnant at 19 completely changed the course of her life for the better.  She shares her journey from life in small town Iowa working at her dad’s gas station to Nurse Practitioner focusing on treating the person instead of just the mental illness.  Cassy explains why the people usually considered society’s lost are the most fulfilling folks to treat and how having her own successful practice has allowed her to most effectively help people in her own style and in a less clinical setting.  Cassy is also at the forefront of treatment.  She explains the process of a new treatment that uses extremely controlled Ketamine administration to help clients suffering from chronic treatment resistant depression or acute suicidality that are not responsive to other medications and treatments.  Cassy also takes the time to delve into how grief can be processed in a healthy and personal way.  This episode is extremely informative, personal, and fun.  This is Those Who Do:  Psych Nurse Practitioner w/Cassy Lensing.         Also Available Anywhere You Get Your Pods Casted!
