Overview

Make a Meaningful Impact in Pain & Behavioral Health Care

 

We are seeking a compassionate, highly skilled Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant with pain and psychiatric expertise to join our collaborative Pain Management team. This role is ideal for a provider who is passionate about treating complex patients with chronic pain. 

You’ll work within a multidisciplinary environment where pain medicine and mental health treatment intersect — helping patients regain stability, function, and quality of life.

 

What You’ll Do

As a key clinical provider, you will:

  • Deliver comprehensive pain and psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management
  • 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.

 

Apply today to join a team dedicated to improving lives through integrated behavioral and pain care.
