- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills across clinical, administrative, and justice system stakeholders.
- A heart for service and a vision for patient-centered, recovery-oriented care.
Preferred Qualifications
These are “nice-to-haves” that show a candidate is especially well-suited—but lacking one is not an immediate disqualifier.

- For Psychiatrists/PMHNPs: experience integrating medication management with psychotherapy services.
- Experience managing court-mandated treatment programs or collaborating with correctional institutions.
