About The Position

Well Behavioral Health (WBH) is seeking a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner to join our outpatient mental health clinic based in Midtown Manhattan. The PMHNP provides psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing psychiatric care to adults presenting with serious mental illness, trauma-related disorders, eating disorders, and general mental health conditions, working in close collaboration with our therapy and care coordination teams. This position begins part-time (2–3 days per week) with a defined ramp to full-time as the clinic's psychiatric caseload grows. This is an opportunity to build a panel from the ground up within a clinic that treats prescribers as clinical partners, not billing engines.
