What makes Dr. Krista Puente Trefz with Baytree Behavioral Health a good neighbor?
Ever wondered how the seeds of a childhood steeped in psychiatric care can blossom into a dedicated career in clinical psychology? Join us as we sit down with Dr. Krista Puente Trefz of Baytree Behavioral Health. Growing up with a psychiatric nurse mom and a neuropsychologist dad, Dr. Krista was destined to make mental health her life’s mission. From handing out Christmas cards while her dad made house calls to volunteering at soup kitchens in college, she was always drawn to helping others. Today, she specializes in maternal health, veterans, and those grappling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma.
Dr. Krista also shares an emotional chapter from her personal life: the heart-wrenching moment when her newborn son's life hung in the balance. This experience deepened her empathy and commitment to maternal mental health, making her an invaluable resource for mothers facing similar challenges. Outside her practice, Dr. Krista cherishes family time at the beach, boating adventures, and the simple joy of walking her dog. Tune in to hear her inspiring journey and why she believes therapy is a valuable tool for everyone, not just those with severe mental health issues.
