Consultative Psychiatry APC; PMHNP

As an Accompany Health Advanced Practice Clinician, CoCM/Bridge psychiatry you will serve patients with mild to moderate mental health, SMI and/or substance use needs, grounded in the evidence-based Collaborative Care Model that has also been adapted to meet patients with SMI/SUD (Bridge).

You will be primarily seeing patients in our Bridge Care program, which will involve direct patient care conducted via video, phone and/or text in order to improve BH condition management, treatment-to-target, and reduction in avoidable inpatient/ED utilization. You will be responsible for accurate and appropriate clinical diagnosis of BH conditions, treatment initiation and titration including medications, and coordination of care for patients with severe mental illness (SMI), including substance use disorders.

You will be supported by a supervising med‑psychiatric physician as well as behavioral health clinicians (LCSW/LPC).

Within our Collaborative Care Program, you will serve as the primary psychiatric consultant with the support of a supervising med‑psychiatric physician in this model, supported by med‑psychiatric advanced practice clinicians and behavioral health clinicians. In collaboration with primary care and advanced practice clinicians, you’ll deliver patient‑centered, measurement‑based, treatment‑to‑target care. In addition, you will perform e‑consults for our primary care teams to provide recommendations for BH diagnostic clarity and medication management.

This role is ideal for an APC who embraces innovation, values autonomy, and wants to help shape clinical models that merge technology, compassion, and evidence‑based practice.
