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?

We9re 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 don9t 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 didn9t 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.
