Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner; PMHNP

About the Practice

Our hiring partner is a distinguished outpatient psychiatric practice that has served the Maryland community for more than ten years. Its multidisciplinary team of over 90 clinicians provides child, adolescent, and adult psychiatric medication management, individual and group therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and weight management services. Despite significant growth, the practice has intentionally maintained a close-knit culture with a strong record of provider longevity and retention.

The team believes excellent psychiatric care is built on strong therapeutic relationships, thoughtful clinical decision-making, ongoing learning, and collaboration across disciplines - and values compassion, competence, work-life balance, curiosity, inclusivity, and acceptance of all identities and bodies.

The practice offers hybrid work across five offices in Baltimore, Bethesda, Columbia, Hunt Valley, and Frederick.

The ideal candidate is a thoughtful, collaborative clinician who enjoys building strong therapeutic relationships, works well within a multidisciplinary team, and wants to continue expanding their clinical skills.
