Remote Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner - Fee For Service

Thriveworks•CA - Remote, CA

3d•$171,000 - $246,000•Remote

About The Position

Thriveworks is hiring Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners licensed in and living in California to provide ongoing psychiatric care through telemedicine. Clinicians care for a diverse population experiencing conditions such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD, primarily serving adults and adolescents, with a future focus on expanding care across the lifespan. The role includes a required in-house training and certification exam on Thriveworks’ ADHD treatment standards. New hires are enrolled in the ADHD Clinic and expected to treat ADHD clients, without quotas for client visits or prescriptions. This is a W-2 fee-for-service position, with stated annual compensation of $171,000–$246,000 based on 25–35 clinical hours per week. A competitive ramp stipend may be available to clinicians offering at least 30 hours of availability per week. The position is fully remote and offers schedule flexibility, no-show protection, and no required on-call duties. Thriveworks does not incentivize stimulant medication use; prescribing decisions remain at the clinician’s discretion based on client symptoms and diagnosis. The organization does not currently treat substance use disorders and seeks in-person referrals when symptoms are too severe for telemedicine-only care.
