A role built around how you practice.

You see patients, and we take care of the contract with the partner, handle invoicing, and keep credentialing moving between you and them and more.

What practicing with us looks like

We spend a lot of time matching you to a role that fits.

Clinicians come to us by personal referral. We do not post these roles anywhere.

A panel from day one

When you start with a partner, the patients are already on the schedule and the systems already work, so you are not building a practice from zero or spending your nights on marketing and billing.

Colleagues built in

When a case is complicated, you curbside a psychiatrist who knows the setting. Most of this group runs on texts and calls, not a ticketing queue. For psychiatric NPs, that access comes with the role.

Run by practicing psychiatrists

The psychiatrists who founded the group are still practicing today, alongside you.

The exchange

What you bring, and what we handle.

What you bring

  • Active, unrestricted California license
  • Board certification in psychiatry, or PMHNP certification
  • DEA registration with a California address
  • Individual NPI
  • A reliable telehealth setup and a private space

Partner organizations set their own requirements as well. We tell you what they are before you commit.

What we handle

  • The partner relationship and the agreement
  • Contracting and invoicing
  • Support through the partner’s credentialing process
  • Scheduling and expectations with the site
  • A physician you can reach when a case is complicated

The practical questions

The questions we get asked.

What does it pay?

Rates depend on the partner and the clinic, so we cannot quote one up front, but you get the number before you commit and it is the rate you are paid. And when a clinician’s rate has fallen behind, we have been the ones to go back to the partner and ask for the raise.

Am I an employee or a contractor?

Clinicians practice with the group as independent contractors (1099), with the terms in writing before you commit. If you have not worked 1099 before, we walk you through what changes. One of our psychiatrists needed to set up her own health insurance for the first time, so we did that research with her until it was sorted.

Is there a minimum commitment or a non-compete?

No standing minimum, and no non-compete with the group. Where a partner asks for a term commitment, we ask you to match it. You see that term before you agree to it.

Would I be asked to cover another clinician’s panel?

No. That coverage sits with the psychiatrists who founded the group, who keep lighter schedules so they can take it on. When a partner has asked for our Continuity Commitment and their clinician is out, the panel goes to one of them.

Can I practice with you alongside my current role?

Yes. A lot of good fits start part-time, around an existing job. Tell us what your week looks like.

Who handles credentialing and licensing paperwork?

The partner organization runs credentialing. We facilitate it and keep communication moving between you and the organization, so it does not sit on your desk. You get a status read whenever you want one.

How is malpractice handled?

We carry malpractice coverage for your work with us, confirmed in writing before your first day, including how tail is handled.

Is the work telehealth?

Yes. Care is delivered by telehealth from your own office, to patients physically located in California. Where a partner and a clinician both want a hybrid arrangement, we are open to building it.

How do people join the group?

Our clinicians arrive by personal referral, and the referral is doing the vetting, because someone we have worked with is vouching for them. If you do not know anyone here, a short note starts the same conversation: who you are, how you practice, and what you are looking for.

Tell us about your availability

What happens after you send this.

There are no standing postings; a note here is how conversations start. We read what comes in and get back to you either way, and even if nothing is open right now, we will look for where you might fit.

Please do not include any patient information in this form.
