Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)- Full Practice Authority

Description Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) - Full Practice Authority W-2 Position | Flexible Daytime Schedule | Private Practice | North Shore Chicago More support. More flexibility. More time to focus on your patients. Are you a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner looking for greater control over your schedule—without giving up the stability, benefits, referrals, and support of a larger organization? At Inspire Counseling Center, we believe clinicians do their best work when they're well supported. We combine the resources and infrastructure of a large group practice with the warmth, flexibility, and personal feel of a boutique private practice. We're looking for an experienced, compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) or Psychiatrist to join our growing team. The Schedule We are looking for a provider who can work a minimum of a minimum of 24 hours per week, primarily during daytime hours. Monday–Thursday daytime availability, ideally between 9:00am–3:00pm or similar hours Hybrid flexibility: Enjoy the option to provide telehealth from home for a portion of your schedule, with a commitment to working in person at our Evanston office at least 2–3 days per week Downtown Evanston location, conveniently located near the Davis CTA Purple Line and Davis Street/Evanston Metra (UP-N) stations Build a consistent schedule that works for your life No evenings, weekends, or holidays required Fridays and weekend hours are available if desired Beautiful, dedicated office space for your in-person days We value work-life balance and want to create a schedule that feels both flexible and sustainable, while maintaining the in-person connection and collaborative environment that are important parts of the Inspire experience. Practice Psychiatry the Way It Should Be Practiced We don't believe medication management should feel like an assembly line. Initial psychiatric evaluations are scheduled for 60 minutes, and follow-up appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes, giving you time to talk with your patients, provide thoughtful care, collaborate when needed, and complete documentation. Inspire serves a diverse outpatient population, including children, adolescents, college students, young adults, and adults. Our philosophy is highly collaborative. We view psychiatric medication as an important tool that, when appropriate, can work alongside therapy to help patients make meaningful progress. One of the greatest advantages of joining Inspire is having an entire psychotherapy team available for collaboration and consultation. Many of our medication-management patients are also working with therapists at Inspire, allowing for continuity and coordination of care when clinically appropriate and authorized. For shared Inspire clients, you can also benefit from information already gathered through their therapy intake and clinical record, while completing your own psychiatric evaluation and assessment. We Handle the Business Side. You Focus on Your Patients. You didn't become a psychiatric provider because you wanted to spend your day dealing with insurance companies, scheduling problems, marketing, or billing. Our experienced administrative team handles: New patient inquiries and intake calls Scheduling and rescheduling New-client paperwork Insurance verification Credentialing Billing and claims submission Denials and payment processing Office management Marketing and community outreach Client referrals You get to focus on what you do best: taking care of your patients. Collaborative Physician Support We are particularly interested in experienced PMHNP candidates with Illinois Full Practice Authority (FPA). Inspire has established relationships with psychiatrists who provide consultation and/or collaboration for Inspire's PMHNPs. Why Inspire? At Inspire, our philosophy is simple: We take good care of our employees so they can take great care of their clients. We've worked hard to build a practice that offers the professional infrastructure and stability of a larger organization without losing the connection, flexibility, and humanity of a smaller practice.

We want people who care about their patients and their teammates. Our culture is warm, down-to-earth, supportive, and genuinely connected. We laugh together. We celebrate together and we show up for each other on the hard days. And we understand that you have a life outside of work.
