Make a Meaningful Impact in Integrated Pain & Behavioral Health Care

We are seeking a compassionate, highly skilled Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) or Physician Assistant with psychiatric expertise to join our collaborative Pain Services team. This role is ideal for a provider who is passionate about treating complex patients with chronic pain, co-occurring mental health disorders, and substance use conditions.

• Order and interpret labs and drug screenings
• Provide patient and family education regarding mental health, pain management, and recovery
• Collaborate closely with our Behavioral Wellness team and pain specialists
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives and best-practice development
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant documentation

Why This Role Stands Out

✔ Integrated care model combining psychiatry and pain medicine
✔ Work with a specialized chronic pain population
✔ Collaborative, multidisciplinary environment
✔ Opportunity to treat complex dual-diagnosis cases
✔ Support for professional growth and continuing education

• MSN (Psychiatric Mental Health NP) or completion of an accredited PA program
• Active, unrestricted state license
• Board Certified PMHNP or PA
• Active DEA license
• Minimum 2 years of psychiatric mental health experience

• Detail-oriented and compliant with prescribing regulations
• Collaborative and team-focused
• Passionate about improving outcomes for patients with dual diagnoses
