About David
Dr. David Husted is a board-certified psychiatrist and the founder and clinical lead of Stedfast Psychiatry. He completed his bachelor's degree in chemistry, a master's degree in physiology, and his medical degree at the University of Florida, graduating with academic honors. He has since held hospital leadership and academic posts in South Florida, including Chairman of Psychiatry at JFK Medical Center, Medical Director of Palm Beach Behavioral Health since 2014, and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Miami.
His clinical focus is anxiety and depression. Dr. Husted is less interested in simply quieting symptoms than in helping you get back to the life you want: sleeping, working, parenting, and showing up for the people who matter. He treats medication as one tool among several and expects a treatment plan to be measured against how you actually function week to week.
Dr. Husted sees patients at the Jupiter office and leads the practice's team of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and physician assistants across Florida and South Carolina. Several of the practice's physician assistants trained directly under him. Outside the office he is active and family-oriented, and he brings that same plain-spoken, practical energy to the exam room.
Care philosophy
Dr. Husted believes recovery means functioning well, not just feeling less bad. He sets concrete goals with each patient, revisits them at every visit, and adjusts the plan when the evidence says it is time.
