Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner – PMHNP – Telehealth Addiction & Mental Health Care

About the Role

As a PMHNP, you will lead member care alongside a team of counselors, therapists, peer support specialists, and case managers. You’ll provide evidence-based treatment for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health disorders.

We do not prescribe controlled substances other than Suboxone for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder. Affect provides extensive training on evidence-based approaches to treatment, though medication decisions are ultimately made at the provider’s discretion in collaboration with the member. You must hold an active, unrestricted license in New Mexico

We have a full-time and part-time opportunity in New Mexico!

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct initial and follow up telehealth evaluations
• Deliver care for both substance use and mental health conditions.
• Prescribe medications as appropriate and answer member questions.
• Complete documentation in our EHR (Healthie).
• Collaborate with your care team and attend occasional scheduled team meetings.

Requirements

• Active and verifiable PMHNP license (Medicaid enrollment is a plus) in the state(s) where you practice, as well as your state of residence if it is not New Mexico.
• At least 2 years of experience, ideally in addiction or mental health treatment. We will consider relevant previous experience for those with less than 2 years experience as a PMHNP.
• Experience prescribing Suboxone and active DEA registration.
• Willingness to obtain multi-state licensure (cost covered by Affect).
• Empathy for members facing behavioral health challenges.
• Comfort using technology, including EHRs and mobile apps.

Additional Information
