About The Position

Tanner Clinic, a physician-owned multispecialty medical group, is seeking an experienced Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join our growing and dynamic Behavioral Health Department. We pride ourselves on providing comprehensive, evidence-based, and compassionate mental health care to patients across the lifespan. We are seeking a highly motivated clinician who values collaboration, clinical excellence, and patient-centered care. The PMHNP will provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing psychiatric care for patients with a wide range of mental health conditions. The ideal candidate will have experience treating children, adolescents, and adults, though applicants primarily focused on adult psychiatry are also encouraged to apply. This position offers the opportunity to work alongside psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists, dietitians, and other behavioral health professionals within a highly integrated behavioral health program. In addition to traditional outpatient psychiatric care, the PMHNP will participate in Tanner Clinic's Center for Advanced Mood Treatment, including oversight and management of patients receiving Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), IV ketamine therapy, and Spravato (esketamine) treatments. Prior experience with these treatment modalities is preferred but not required; however, applicants must be comfortable learning and participating in these services.
