Hi! I'm Christina Stelly, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Martinez, CA. With over 15 years of clinical experience across inpatient psychiatry, maternal health, and advanced practice, I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to every person I serve.
I specialize in treating schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc.
My academic background includes a Post-Certificate DNP in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of Illinois Chicago, a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Texas Tech University, and a Master of Science in Nursing from Touro University. I also completed an intensive NP residency focused on advanced psychiatric care, crisis stabilization, and forensic psychiatry, which further strengthened my clinical expertise.
Earlier in my career, I specialized in maternal mental health, serving as a Patient Care Director for high-risk obstetric populations and contributing to perinatal mental health policy at the state and national levels. This background gives me a uniquely broad, whole-person perspective on psychiatric care across the lifespan.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, individualized care. I take time to fully understand your history, concerns, and goals before collaboratively building a treatment plan tailored to you. I have also served on health policy committees and presented at national nursing conferences, reflecting my commitment to psychiatric care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Covina
Finding psychiatrists in Covina starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. Both can be valid places to start, depending on whether you want support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address.
Covina is a smaller city, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in nearby parts of the San Gabriel Valley. Virtual psychiatry can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in California. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their focus, appointment format, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Covina can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, preferences, and schedule. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
