About the Role

Are you a PMHNP or Physician Assistant passionate about providing innovative, life-changing mental health care? Our specialized outpatient clinic in Yakima is seeking a Clinical Lead to direct interventional psychiatry and ketamine-assisted therapy services.

While our roots and mission are deeply tied to veteran care, our practice is dedicated to serving a broad community in need. We provide evidence-based, compassionate care to veterans, first responders, and the general public who are struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), severe anxiety, and related psychiatric conditions.

This position offers the opportunity to deliver structured, evidence-based ketamine and Spravato® protocols under established clinical standards, working directly with an experienced medical director and a collaborative network of licensed therapists.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, intake assessments, and diagnostic workups to determine treatment appropriateness and medical necessity.
• Design, implement, and monitor personalized interventional treatment plans tailored to each patient’s clinical history and therapeutic goals.
• Provide onsite clinical oversight for ketamine administrations (IV infusions, IM injections, and Spravato® nasal spray), including pre-treatment screening, vital sign monitoring, and post-treatment recovery evaluation.
• Collaborate closely with licensed therapists to ensure seamless integration between medical dosing sessions and psychotherapeutic support.
• Participate in refining clinic clinical workflows, emergency procedures, and quality assurance protocols to maintain the highest standard of patient safety and compliance.
• Maintain accurate, timely charting and documentation within the clinic EHR.

Qualifications & Licensure

• Active Washington State Clinical License:
• ARNP with board certification as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC); OR
• Physician Assistant (PA-C) licensed in Washington State with clinical experience or specialized training in psychiatry, behavioral health, or emergency/interventional medicine (collaborative practice agreement established with Medical Director).
• DEA Registration: Active federal DEA registration (Schedule III authority) or eligibility to obtain.
• Clinical Background: Strong clinical judgment in assessing psychiatric risk, contraindications, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. Experience or strong clinical interest in interventional modalities (ketamine, esketamine/Spravato®) is preferred.
• Population Affinity: Veteran status or prior clinical experience working with military service members, veterans, first responders, or high-trauma populations is a strong advantage.
• Excellent patient-facing bedside manner, active listening skills, and commitment to whole-person care.

Work Schedule & Setting

• Hours: Flexible part-time schedule (2 days per week, approximately 3–4 hours per day, with room to expand as clinic volume grows).
• Setting: Outpatient, private clinical treatment suites designed for patient comfort, monitoring, and safety.
• Collaborative Support: Full administrative, scheduling, billing, and nursing/monitoring support provided by the clinic team.
