• Consultation with colleagues on complex or treatment-resistant cases
• Providing psychiatric care for members on Court Ordered Treatment (COT) as part of your overall caseload

Why This Role Matters

Behind every diagnosis is a human being with a story, goals, and the capacity for change. Our members often face significant barriers, including serious mental illness, medical challenges, housing instability, isolation, and fragmented care. They also bring resilience, strengths, and possibilities. The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who thrives here understands that great care is built one relationship at a time. Your clinical decisions, curiosity, and consistency can help someone regain stability and reconnect with what matters to them.

This can lead to meaningful steps toward the life they want to build.
