“Most psychiatric visits should be longer, not shorter. The industry optimizes for volume. I optimize for understanding.”

Relational Continuity

Measurement-Based Care

Unhurried Assessment

Arthur started his career in community mental health, serving patients who had been passed between providers so many times they'd stopped expecting continuity. That experience convinced him that psychiatric care fails when it becomes transactional — and that the most powerful clinical tool is a provider who stays.

Morning ritual

Earl Grey, then journals. I review every patient's chart the morning before I see them.

Something unexpected

Builds mechanical keyboards. Says the precision of soldering tiny switches is oddly meditative.

For the first time, I felt like my psychiatrist actually knew who I was. He remembered details from months ago that I'd forgotten I'd mentioned.

About Arthur

Arthur Roehr is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and the clinical director of Feel August. He holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of San Diego.

Arthur began his career serving underserved populations and went on to become the Director of Psychiatric Services at a federally qualified health center, where he built a track record of compassionate, thorough psychiatric care for over 600 patients. He founded Feel August on the conviction that every person who seeks psychiatric care deserves a provider who knows their name, remembers their history, and measures whether treatment is actually working.

His clinical approach centers on thorough evaluation, same-provider continuity, and measurement-based outcomes. He believes that 60 minutes is the minimum time required for a meaningful initial assessment, and that ongoing care should be guided by validated instruments — not guesswork.
