Assistant Medical Director

Overstory Health builds world-class patient-centric Partial Hospital & Intensive Outpatient (PHP & IOP) programs for those with high acuity mental health needs. Our mission is to provide more accessible and dignified behavioral health care for clients when they need care the most. With a clinical model validated by McLean Hospital, we deliver comprehensive psychiatric, therapeutic, and community reintegration services to our patients.

Our teams provide high-quality, whole-person, evidence-based care, with the goal of patient stability, connection, and confidence from program admission to post-graduation.

At Overstory Health, we help adults heal, grow, and thrive by offering comprehensive behavioral health care when once-a-week therapy isn't enough. As a Psychiatrist and Assistant Medical Director, you will play a key role in supporting clients through some of their most challenging moments. You will work closely with a collaborative care team to provide thoughtful psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and compassionate clinical support in both our Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient programs.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact-within a modern care model rooted in community, backed by evidence, and focused on whole-person healing.
