- Diagnose and treat chronic pain conditions and co-occurring depression and anxiety
- Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans
- Prescribe and manage opioids, adjunctive pain medicines, and psychotropic medications
- Provide patient and family education regarding mental health, pain management, and recovery
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
What We’re Looking For
Required Qualifications
- MSN (Psychiatric Mental Health NP) or completion of an accredited PA program
- Active, unrestricted state license
- Board Certified PMHNP or PA
- Active DEA license
Preferred Experience
- Chronic pain management
- Buprenorphine prescribing experience
- Psychiatric treatment
- Experience in integrated or multidisciplinary settings
The Ideal Candidate
You are:
- Clinically confident and comfortable managing complex cases
- Compassionate and patient-centered
- Detail-oriented and compliant with prescribing regulations
- Collaborative and team-focused
- Passionate about improving outcomes for patients with dual diagnoses
If you are looking for a role where you can combine chronic pain management and mental health treatment in a supportive, mission-driven environment — we’d love to connect with you.
