Dr. Evan Husted, M.D., MPH, is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician who lives in Queen Village, South Philadelphia. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Delaware County, Evan earned a BA in Psychology with a focus on Neuropharmacology at American University before graduating from the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences. After completing his residency in Emergency Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 2011, he worked as an Emergency Department attending physician at Virtua Marlton Hospital until 2016. While at Virtua Marlton, he earned a Master’s degree in Public Health at the Jefferson College of Population Health in 2015. From 2017 until 2022, he worked as a provider at multiple Urgent Care clinics for Atlanticare in South Jersey. A persistent interest in mental healthcare throughout his career has led to his enthusiasm for the potential of psychedelic medicines such as ketamine to provide relief to those suffering from chronic mental health disorders that have not been successfully treated by traditional methods. In his personal time Evan enjoys grilling, bicycling and kayaking the creeks and rivers of South Jersey.
As proponents of Psychedelic Medicine, we believe that medications, such as ketamine, hold the potential to help some people break free from the crushing stress of chronic mental health conditions. While Psychedelic Medicine may provide some patients with a breakthrough in their struggle to improve their mood or stress levels, the effects can last longer and be more effective if they are incorporated with talk therapy. We look forward to collaborating with your mental health practitioner to help bring your therapy to the next level, and if you are not currently in therapy, we can connect you with a network of providers who are interested in assisting you on this journey.
