Employment Type: Full-Time, W2

If you believe patients can improve their mental strength—and that access to care matters, this role is for you.

At Mentally STRONG, we serve a high volume of patients who need timely psychiatric care. That means our PMHNPs move efficiently through appointments while maintaining clinical excellence, patient connection, and education.

This is not a slow-paced boutique practice. It is a mission-driven clinic for providers who:

• Believe more people deserve high-quality psychiatric care
• Can deliver care efficiently, clearly, and compassionately
• Are resilient, emotionally mature, and growth-oriented
• Are looking for a long-term professional home, not a stepping-stone

Mentally STRONG is a mission-driven mental health organization redefining psychiatric care.

Our PMHNPs are clinical leaders, educators, and culture carriers—not just prescribers.

We believe excellent care requires:

• Emotional regulation and self-leadership
• Clear clinical standards and accountability
• Education that empowers patients to change
• A culture of direct communication, growth, and integrity

• You believe patients can grow, not just cope
• You value both access and clinical excellence
• You can see patients efficiently without sacrificing quality
• You enjoy mentoring, teaching, and developing others
• You are seeking a long-term, meaningful role
• You thrive in a culture of accountability, feedback, and collaboration

This role moves fast, and we are honest about that. You will see a full patient schedule, and challenges will arise.

You’ll thrive if you can:

• Maintain emotional regulation under clinical and operational pressures
• Balance efficiency with empathy and patient-centered care
• Use self-awareness and self-care to sustain long-term performance
• Learn from challenges rather than offload stress onto colleagues

We are building resilient, high-performing NPs who want to impact many patients while protecting their own wellness.

If high-volume care without sacrificing quality excites you—and you are ready to meet the challenge—this is a deeply rewarding place to practice.
If you prefer low-volume, slower-paced work, this role may not be a fit.
