Position Summary

We’re hiring an Oakland-based PMHNP to provide high-quality telehealth psychiatric medication management for an adult outpatient population, with occasional in-person shifts to support and/or supervise interventional psychiatry services. This role is ideal for a clinician who enjoys thoughtful longitudinal care, is strong with documentation and follow-through, and is also comfortable with infusion workflows—including peripheral IV insertions.

Most clinical hours will be telehealth med management. In-person work is scheduled periodically based on patient needs and interventional programming (e.g., infusion days, treatment monitoring, clinical coverage).

Key ResponsibilitiesTelehealth Medication Management (Primary)

• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management follow-ups via telehealth.
• Diagnose and treat common outpatient psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar spectrum, insomnia), including complex comorbidity where clinically appropriate.
• Prescribe and monitor psychiatric medications, including controlled substances when indicated and consistent with applicable regulations and clinic protocols.
• Order and interpret labs and other diagnostics as clinically appropriate; coordinate care with therapists, PCPs, and other specialists.
• Provide patient education, shared decision-making, and structured follow-up plans.

Interventional Psychiatry (Occasional In-Person)

• Perform and/or supervise interventional treatment visits in the Oakland clinic as scheduled.
• Start peripheral IVs and manage basic infusion set-up as needed.
• Monitor patients during treatments, including vitals, side effects, and clinical response; document appropriately.
• Respond to and triage treatment-related issues and escalate to the supervising physician when indicated.
• Support safe clinical operations: adherence to workflows, checklists, and patient monitoring standards.

Practice & Team Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with the medical director/physician team and clinical staff to maintain consistent, high-quality care.
• Communicate with patients and staff promptly and professionally.
• Maintain timely, accurate documentation and coding/billing support consistent with clinic expectations.

Required Qualifications

• PMHNP (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner) with active California NP licensure (in good standing).
• Active DEA registration (or ability to obtain promptly) and CA furnishing requirements as applicable.
• Comfortable providing telehealth psychiatric medication management with strong clinical judgment and risk assessment skills.
• Comfort with IV infusions and peripheral IV insertion (hands-on competency required).
• Strong documentation practices and ability to work efficiently in an EHR.
• Ability to reliably attend occasional in-person shifts in Oakland for interventional days/coverage.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with interventional psychiatry (e.g., ketamine/esketamine programs, infusion clinic workflows, procedural monitoring).
• BLS required; ACLS strongly preferred (or willingness to obtain).
• Experience working with treatment-resistant depression and higher-acuity outpatient populations.
• Comfort collaborating in a measurement-based care environment and using standardized rating scales.

What We Offer

• Hybrid work: primarily remote/telehealth with periodic in-person clinical days in Oakland.
• Supportive physician collaboration and clear clinical escalation pathways.
• Operational support, including clinic systems and tools to improve efficiency (e.g., optional documentation support/AI-augmented scribing tools).
• Competitive compensation structure (base productivity potential), plus additional compensation pathways for interventional work where applicable.
• Benefits package may include health reimbursement options, malpractice coverage, paid time off, and professional development support depending on role status and tenure.

Work Location Expectations

This position is designed for a local Oakland-based clinician. Telehealth may be performed remotely (within approved locations), but the role requires the ability to be onsite in Oakland on a scheduled basis for interventional treatment days and occasional clinical needs.
