Are you interested in working in a modern office environment with cutting edge research and ideas being applied to treating mental health problems, such as depression, and how to enhance overall wellness, in a cooperative and caring small family-like clinical team? Do you love working directly with patients and providing a positive impact on their lives in a longitudinal manner? Do you have a friendly demeanor and excellent communication skills?
Consider joining our team at Dignity Brain Health!!
Dignity Brain Health is a leading outpatient psychiatric clinic that provides patients in the greater Boston area, New England and nationally, with compassionate and evidence-based treatment for psychiatric conditions.
We are seeking a full time Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to join our team of dedicated, collaborative, caring, and smart clinicians.
**Medication Management + TMS Therapy (an exciting new role - we will train you!)
Main responsibilities are psychopharmacology (and add on therapy) for a variety of psychiatric conditions (about 90% of the time) and providing TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) therapy for depression (about 10% of the time). All training for TMS will be provided on the job by our kind and excellent staff; no experience necessary.
**You are given autonomy, with support.
You are expected to have, or eventually have, independent practice authority in the state of MA to issue written prescriptions and medication orders and order tests and therapeutics.
***But you have a collaborative role as well.
You also would be joining a collegial team that includes our Medical Director (a psychiatrist, Dr. Omar), two Medical Assistants, two other Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, a Physician Assistant (PA), two full time Office Managers who assist with any admin tasks, one Practice Manager, and a full time Insurance/Billing Manager. We love discussing patients together in weekly rounds and our motto is “never worry alone”. Advice, support, work-life balance, and camaraderie matter for happiness at work!

**Evidence-Based Practice.
We regularly keep up with new research to provide the best possible care to our patients. We believe it is essential to review evidence-based guidelines with patients and learn about their lives and provide informed as well as supportive care.
**Heal Others With Your Mind, Heart, and Soul
Engage your whole self in your work, with knowledge of biomedicine, but also with your empathy, communication skills, and health education and coaching skills.

Additionally, we provide you with daily protected and paid time for your own unavoidable administrative tasks (i.e., emails, notes, etc.).
**We Invest in Your Work-Life Balance
We believe in providing the highest quality care for our patients, but also for our employees! We design your role to provide work-life balance, customized schedules that balance your ideal day with patient availability, hybrid work from home/in person schedules, excellent interpersonal support, amazing benefits, and competitive pay. We care deeply about and invest in the long term careers of our team members in a reciprocal manner.
**Rediscover the Joy of Caregiving and Meaningful Work.
Exhausted from working in a soulless, warehouse-like clinical role seeing patients every 15-20 minutes? Burned out from a lonely do-it-all-yourself solo-role? Rediscover your calling from those days when you started your schooling, and rediscover again the joy of caregiving! We offer a great chance to apply your knowledge, experience, and unique gifts to find a truly meaningful as well as collaborative role in which you can develop and sustain caring relationships with patients looking for compassionate treatment for various psychiatric conditions (especially mood disorders), and understanding and healing from stigma and the medical and psychosocial effects of mental illness in their lives and relationships.
