The Trauma Therapist The Trauma and Grief of Life with Dr. Cristi Bundukamara
Sep 12, 2025
36:15
Dr. Cristi Bundukamara — known to her patients as Dr. B — is a psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of Mentally Strong, a behavioral health clinic in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Combining decades of clinical expertise with her deeply personal experience, Dr. B helps people navigate grief, trauma, and loss through her innovative Mentally Strong Method, a practical framework for building resilience and reclaiming purpose after life’s hardest moments.
Dr. B’s professional work is rooted in unimaginable personal loss. Over several years, she lost a child to an accidental drowning, two more children to a rare genetic disorder, and in 2024, her husband — who also had the disorder. Instead of allowing grief to define her, Dr. B turned her pain into purpose, creating both her clinic and a new approach to processing loss and trauma, where she blends her clinical knowledge with the raw reality of lived experience.
