About Tides Mental Health (TidesMentalHealth.com):
Founded in 2023, Tides Mental Health is a growing outpatient psychiatric and behavioral health practice serving individuals, couples, and families across the Chicago area. Our mission is to be a safe harbor for healing and growth—transforming mental health care through compassion, collaboration, accessibility, and creativity. We pair psychiatric and therapy services under one roof to deliver truly integrated, client-centered care.
This is an early-stage, founder-led practice. The clinician who joins us now will help shape our clinical culture, care model, and long-term direction.
The Role:
We’re looking for a fully licensed, experienced PMHNP who wants to practice thoughtful psychiatry without the volume pressure of larger systems. You’ll carry a manageable caseload, collaborate closely with our therapy team, and help build the integrated care model that sets Tides apart. Our Medical Director—a psychiatrist licensed in Illinois—serves as your collaborating physician, providing supervision and clinical support.
Our clients are primarily adults experiencing anxiety, depression and mood concerns, and ADHD. Candidates should bring the requisite clinical experience to both effectively care for and collaborate with our Medical Director / therapy team on higher-acuity patients. Tides operates an integrated care model: clients come to us for medication management, psychiatric assessments, and education about their medications, coordinated alongside therapy.
What You'll Do:
Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and provide ongoing medication management for Tides clients
Reliably conduct integrated intake evaluations as scheduled
Partner with our therapists to coordinate care and keep treatment aligned across disciplines
Educate clients on diagnosis, treatment options, and the integrated care model during intake and follow-up
Maintain timely, accurate documentation in our EHR
Help refine clinical workflows and our integrated care framework as we grow
What You Bring:
Active PMHNP licensure through IDFPR, in good standing
Full practice authority, or an established collaborative agreement with a physician
Current, unrestricted DEA registration and NPI
At least 2–3 years of experience practicing as a PMHNP, ideally in an outpatient or comparable setting
Sound clinical judgment and comfort working autonomously within a collaborative team
Individual malpractice/liability coverage
Enthusiasm for building something in an entrepreneurial, early-stage environment
Details:
Hours: Flexible scheduling; final schedule mutually agreed based on your availability and practice needs
Location: In-person at our Chicago office with remote flexibility
Compensation: Competitive revenue-share model based on a percentage of net collections, rewarding productivity and growth. Specifics discussed during the interview process
Classification: 1099 independent contractor
