Meet Amethyst Maxey
Dedicated Nurse Practitioner that specializes in Weight Loss Treatment, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia and PTSD. I am committed to achieving my patent's health goals
I have been practicing as a Nurse Practitioner for the last 4 years, practicing in the Chicagoland area. Prior to obtaining my Master’s degree, I worked as a Registered Nurse for 10 years in several different settings.
My job is more than treating an illness. My approach to service and treatment is always deliver extraordinary patient centered care and is individualized to meet each patient’s needs. I’m a huge advocate for patient’s rights and encourage my patient's to take a proactive approach in their care.
I was born on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and moved to Chicago, IL when I was 18 years old where I was able to attend college and obtain my degrees in nursing. I received my Bachelors and Master’s degree from Chamberlain College of Nursing.

My philosophy
I strive on developing strong relationships with my patients and being the most compassionate, empathetic and nonjudgmental person so they can feel comfortable talking to me and opening up about their health concerns. I find that educating my patients and promoting a healthy lifestyle is an essential part of care as medication is not always the answer to every problem. Prevention is key to many diseases. I educate my patient’s not only on healthy lifestyles but disease processes, medication management and non-medication management options.
I provide my care through evidence-based practice, clinical experience and personal observation. I like to know that I have made a difference in my patient’s lives. It’s the most rewarding feeling and why I do this job.

Given the high prevalence of mental health disorders, significant impact, and unmet treatment needs, I have the opportunity, as well as the ethical and professional obligation, to play a leading role in improving my patients mental health.

Physical health plays a big role in our mental health so helping patients achieve their weight loss goals is also rewarding.View all
