Cate Stuart

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Aloha, my name is Shantel Laikupu. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over a decade; in different roles from nursing assistant, medical assistant, and patient/provider services. I have worked cohesively with medical doctors, nurse practitioners, and provider relations experts.

I was born and raised in Hawaii and lived there for 40 years. I recently moved to Southern Maine in 2022 to start a new adventure with my husband and 3 children.

I joined Seaside Family Health Care in 2023 and work here as a medical assistant and office manager. Here at Seaside Family Health Care, I assist our patients in communicating their healthcare needs with our providers and work side by side with our providers in meeting patients’ healthcare needs. I look forward to working with you!

Hi, my name is Catherine (Cate) Stuart, and I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 25 years of experience in healthcare and mental health. I have worked with all age groups and developmental stages. Life is very fast-paced and stressful these days, and sometimes, seeking help to improve our quality of life is necessary. I am dedicated to helping those who are struggling with their mental health to achieve happier, more well-balanced lives. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and a Master’s in Nursing specializing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am also a published author of a medical reference book educating professionals about how to practice culturally sensitive health care. I hope you will reach out and schedule an appointment with me if you think I can help.
