Psychiatrist

Part-Time Psychiatrist (M.D. or D.O.) – Flexible Outpatient Practice

LifePointe Counseling, LLC
South St. Louis County, Missouri

Part-time | 1099 Independent Contractor | Flexible Schedule | No Weekends

Position Overview

LifePointe Counseling, LLC is seeking a psychiatrist to join our established multidisciplinary outpatient behavioral health practice.

This opportunity is designed for a psychiatrist interested in maintaining a limited, recurring outpatient schedule within a well-supported private-practice environment. Scheduling may consist of one full day per week, one half-day per week, or another mutually agreeable arrangement.

The psychiatrist would primarily provide care to adults. Treatment of adolescents or children may also be incorporated based on the physician’s training, experience, and professional interests.

Our current psychiatrist is transitioning away from routine direct patient care but will remain involved with the practice in a limited collaborative capacity, allowing for continuity and transition support.

Responsibilities

• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and diagnostic assessments
• Provide outpatient medication management and follow-up care
• Develop and maintain individualized treatment plans
• Complete accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Coordinate care with therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, primary care providers, pharmacies, and other professionals as appropriate
• Maintain compliance with applicable professional, legal, ethical, and payer requirements
• Participate in limited clinical collaboration or consultation as needed

Practice Support

LifePointe provides the operational support needed to allow clinicians to focus primarily on patient care, including:

• An established referral and intake stream
• Patient scheduling and front-office support
• Insurance verification and administrative intake assistance
• Claims submission, billing, payment posting, and accounts-receivable follow-up
• Credentialing and payer-enrollment support
• Electronic health record and electronic prescribing systems
• Furnished professional office space
• Collaboration with psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, therapists, and experienced administrative staff
• Flexibility in developing a sustainable recurring schedule and caseload

Qualifications

• M.D. or D.O. degree from an accredited medical school
• Completion of an accredited psychiatry residency program
• Board certified or board eligible in psychiatry
• Active, unrestricted Missouri medical license or ability to obtain one
• Active DEA registration or ability to obtain one
• Experience providing psychiatric evaluations and medication management to adult patients
• Strong clinical judgment, communication, documentation, and collaborative-care skills
• Commitment to compassionate, ethical, patient-centered outpatient care

Experience treating children or adolescents is welcomed but is not required.

Compensation and Contractor Relationship

This is a 1099 independent-contractor position. Compensation will be based on an agreed percentage of collected patient and insurance receipts.

The selected psychiatrist will retain meaningful autonomy over scheduling, clinical decision-making, and caseload development within the practice’s operational, ethical, and compliance requirements.

Because this is an independent-contractor position, traditional employee benefits are not provided.

Practice Culture

LifePointe is a small, established private practice that values professional autonomy, thoughtful collaboration, continuity of care, and respectful treatment of both patients and providers.

We are seeking a psychiatrist who wants to become a reliable part of the practice, even within a limited schedule, and who values the opportunity to develop long-term therapeutic relationships in an outpatient setting.
