Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)

About the role

Third Space Therapy combines the independence of private practice with the support of a group setting, focused on expanding Medicaid-covered behavioral healthcare. We're looking for passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners to provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing care to the Medicaid population. We handle the administrative side — billing, insurance, credentialing — so you can focus on care.

Responsibilities

• Provide psychiatric evaluations
• Manage medication
• Deliver ongoing care to Medicaid patients

Requirements

• Active, unrestricted PMHNP license in good standing in Colorado
• National board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‑BC)
• Prescriptive authority, active DEA registration, and Colorado controlled substance registration
• Experience providing psychiatric evaluations and prescribing psychotropic medications
• Your own malpractice coverage ($1M per occurrence / $3M aggregate)
• Experience with EHR systems and other digital tools
• A quiet, HIPAA‑compliant home office, plus your own computer and reliable internet, for confidential virtual sessions
• Fluency in English; proficiency in Spanish is preferred, and additional languages are a plus

Qualifications

• Strong clinical judgment in managing psychiatric conditions across diverse populations
• Patient‑centered approach to medication management and treatment planning
• Experience collaborating with therapists and other providers as part of a multidisciplinary care team
• Commitment to equity in mental health access for Medicaid populations

Benefits

• Complete flexibility: set your own hours and availability, decide which referrals to take, and build the caseload that works for you — alongside your own practice or other work, if you have it
• Administrative support: we handle insurance, billing, and credentialing, and clients book into the availability you set
• Robust referral network: build a diverse caseload through our connections with insurers, universities, and community providers
• Collaborative practice support: where Colorado requires a practice agreement with a patient care team physician, we'll help connect you with an independently licensed collaborating physician; clinical decisions remain yours
• Optional peer consultation: connect with other independent clinicians in the network when you'd like a second perspective
• Remote practice model: enjoy the independence of private practice with the backing of a group — from wherever you work
• Meaningful work: make a real difference for Medicaid members and help close gaps in access to care
