Chester Profeta, MSN, PMHNP-BC

Background

Chester has more than 16 years of healthcare experience, including seven years in acute inpatient telemetry, four years in high-acuity inpatient psychiatry, and outpatient psychiatric care. He earned his Master of Science in Nursing as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner from Maryville University and has completed more than 3,000 psychiatric patient visits.

He teaches as a BSN and MSN PMHNP clinical instructor, helping train the next generation of nurses and nurse practitioners. That teaching background is a big part of how he practices: he explains psychiatric concepts clearly, without jargon or rushed answers.

Chester founded BrainHelp after seeing how many capable students and young professionals were held back not by a lack of ability, but by untreated ADHD, anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Approach

Chester combines evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy and a collaborative, patient-centered approach. He listens to your full story, looks for the root cause, and builds a plan around your goals, working alongside your therapist, primary care provider, and school or employer when needed.
