About Principium Psychiatry

Principium Psychiatry is a physician-led mental healthcare company built around a fundamental principle: psychiatry should be practiced with depth, rigor, and professionalism—not speed or volume.

Our Manhattan clinicians treat a high-functioning, clinically complex adult population. Our model is designed for psychiatrists who value diagnostic clarity, longitudinal care, thoughtful clinical judgment, and adequate time with patients.

We do not operate a high-volume medication-management model or prioritize throughput at the expense of clinical quality. Principium offers an environment in which psychiatrists can practice sophisticated outpatient psychiatry with strong clinical and operational support.

The Role

We are seeking a board-certified or board-eligible adult psychiatrist to join our Midtown Manhattan team.

This is a full-time, in-person position for a psychiatrist who:

• Values adequate time with patients
• Enjoys treating psychologically and diagnostically complex adults
• Is comfortable exercising clinical judgment and providing clear treatment recommendations
• Values continuity, professionalism, and long-term therapeutic relationships
• Wants to build a stable, long-term outpatient career in Manhattan

This is not intended as a temporary, transitional, or exploratory position.

Clinical Scope

• Adult outpatient psychiatry
• Mood, anxiety, trauma-related, bipolar-spectrum, and personality-related conditions
• Longitudinal medication management and comprehensive psychiatric treatment
• Meaningful follow-up and continuity of care
• Collaboration with psychotherapy and interventional psychiatry services
• Opportunities to participate in ketamine and TMS treatment, although interventional work is not required
• No inpatient coverage
• No call
• No overnight or weekend work

What Makes This Role DistinctPsychiatry Practiced with Time and Judgment

Psychiatrists have longer appointment times, manageable patient volumes, and the ability to approach treatment with appropriate clinical depth. Clinical judgment is respected, and physicians are not pressured to rush visits or oversimplify care.

Strong, Reliable Infrastructure

Principium provides comprehensive administrative, billing, and scheduling support; organized intake and triage; dependable clinical workflows; and an experienced operations team. Psychiatrists can concentrate on patient care without having to build or manage the administrative infrastructure around them.

Transparent, Competitive Compensation

The position offers a competitive base salary with additional productivity-based compensation. The structure rewards clinical quality, consistency, responsibility, and thoughtful panel development—not patient churn.

Collegial, High-Standards Culture

Our psychiatrists and clinicians take their work seriously and collaborate around complex clinical decisions. Principium offers a professional, intellectually engaged, and non-transactional clinical environment.

Ideal Candidate

• Completion of an accredited psychiatry residency
• Board-certified or board-eligible in adult psychiatry
• Eligible for New York medical licensure; an active New York license is preferred
• Comfortable treating complex outpatient psychiatric presentations
• Demonstrates sound clinical judgment, reliability, and professional confidence
• Communicates clear treatment recommendations to patients
• Interested in a stable, long-term position in Midtown Manhattan
• Values in-person collaboration and participation in a clinical team

Position Structure

This is a full-time, in-person clinical position. Because the role is designed around continuity of care, team participation, and long-term panel development, psychiatrists are expected to make Principium their exclusive clinical practice. Concurrent private practices or other ongoing outside clinical positions are not compatible with this role.

What This Role Is Not

• A telepsychiatry-only position
• A high-volume medication-management role
• A production-at-all-costs model
• A temporary or transitional position
• A role for someone seeking limited engagement with patients or the clinical team

Why Psychiatrists Choose Principium

Psychiatrists join Principium because they want:

• A serious and clinically sophisticated outpatient environment
• Adequate time to understand and treat their patients well
• A predictable, well-supported Manhattan position
• Compensation that reflects their training and responsibility
• Freedom from administrative disorder
• A collegial company committed to long-term clinical quality

Application Process

Qualified candidates should submit a CV and a brief statement of interest. All inquiries will be handled confidentially.
