About The Position

We are a fast growing & vibrant group practice that provides psychiatric services in assisted living & long-term care facilities throughout NY & NJ. Our well-respected group has been providing services for 14 years and currently has 35 NP's on the team. The NP's are supported by our 2 psychiatrists. Experienced clinicians can have relative autonomy if you are comfortable with the patients & geriatric psychopharmacology. New employees / new graduates have tremendous support by our clinical staff and rounding & collaboration directly w/our senior clinical staff. We focus on psychiatric medication management and supportive psychotherapy. Your role would be to complete initial evaluations & follow up visits onsite at the facilities that we take care of. We generally treat depression, anxiety, cognitive disorders, and dementia w/behavioral issues. You would have a tremendous amount of support from the medical staff, with direct collaboration on any case that you needed assistance or additional input on. As I mentioned, you will have extensive clinical support (direct collaboration) but also administrative support - so you can focus on patient care. We have streamlined & efficient documentation, real time administrative support, and we leverage technology to make everyone's workflow efficient. This position is perfect for someone who is motivated, self-directed, and prefers not to sit in the same office day after day.
