Cassandra (Cassi) Heuer
Board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
My career has taken me across South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Shaped by valuable experiences — three years of training with a psychiatrist, working in inpatient and outpatient facilities, group homes, and long-term care — I am grateful for these opportunities, as they have fueled my passion for an integrative approach to mental health.
I've completed the Psychiatry Redefined Program to combine traditional methods with a functional approach that focuses on physical activity, nutrition, social connection, and spiritual wellness alongside medication.
I believe that wellness truly begins within, and I'm here to guide you on your journey to lasting wellness and healing.

Bridgett Smith
Board Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Though I’m originally from Georgia, I've proudly called Pierre home since 2015. As a mother of three young children and someone who has navigated my own mental health journey, I truly understand the impact and importance of addressing mental health concerns.
My background in assessing and managing a wide range of psychiatric conditions equips me to help clients aged 8 and older with complex mental health issues. I believe in creating treatment plans that prioritize functionality, which means we'll work together to address the root causes of your symptoms.
By combining evidence-based clinical practices with empathy, I am committed to aiding your recovery, reducing mental health stigma, and making a meaningful difference in your life.
