About The Position

Prairie Ridge Integrated Behavioral Healthcare exists to empower individuals to live healthy, purpose-filled lives on their terms. We are a non-profit, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic rooted in the heart of northcentral Iowa and everything we do flows from a boundless belief in personal potential. Our vision is to engage individuals, families, and communities in personalized, whole-self care. We don't treat diagnoses in isolation; we walk alongside people, honoring their dignity and their story, and building care around their strengths and their goals. Across our region, we offer a continuum of services: outpatient psychiatry and counseling, residential substance use treatment, an Opioid Treatment Program, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team, and drop-in centers in two communities. We also bring services directly to rural neighbors through outreach clinics across the region.

We're looking for a psychiatrist who shares our belief that every person, regardless of circumstance, deserves compassionate, high-quality care and who wants to collaborate with a team that lives that out daily. In this role, you'll provide outpatient psychiatric care for adults navigating mental health and substance use challenges while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that includes an on-site psychiatrist, a virtual addiction/family medicine psychiatrist, a family medicine physician, therapists (onsite & virtual), psychiatric nurse practitioners (onsite & virtual), service navigators, nurses, and medical assistants. Our team works collaboratively to support our patients and the communities we serve. This is a primarily weekday outpatient opportunity with no evening, weekend, or on-call responsibilities.
