Arthur Roehr

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Virginia


Hi, I'm Arthur Roehr, DNP, PMHNP-BC , a doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner treating adults through telepsychiatry.

I specialize in helping people navigate with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and sleep problems.

Your first evaluation with me is a full sixty minutes, and you see me at every appointment after it, not whoever is available that week. We track your progress with the same validated measures each visit, so whether the treatment is working is a question with an answer rather than an impression.

Most people who book with me want two things: a clear answer about what's actually going on, and a medication plan that works without turning their life into an experiment. That's what the first visit is for. I take a full history, explain the options in plain language, and we decide together, including the option of not starting a medication yet.

I completed my doctorate at the University of San Diego and spent my early career at a federally qualified health center, caring for patients who had been failed by every other part of the system. I see patients in English and Spanish.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chester

Finding psychiatrists in Chester starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists offer talk therapy and may work with prescribers as part of your care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties match what you want to address.

Chester is a smaller market, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Virginia cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while keeping care close to your schedule. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review psychiatrist bios for availability, specialties, appointment format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Chester can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients with your plan. You can enter your insurance details, compare estimated costs, read bios, and book directly when you are 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.
