About the Role

We are seeking a compassionate and skilled Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join our Behavioral Health Department.

You will provide intake assessments, formulate treatment plans, and manage medications for a range of psychiatric conditions in an outpatient setting.

Patient Population

Our practice serves a disadvantaged population, providing you the chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. We treat patients presenting with mild to moderate mental health conditions, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, and ADHD.

We seek a well-rounded practitioner comfortable treating diverse mental health conditions or aspiring to grow into this role.

Position Highlights :

  • Loan Repayment : Our facility qualifies as a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA rating 17), meaning that our providers are eligible for a variety of student loan repayment programs.
