Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

About Us
Palmetto Mental Health is expanding its clinical team to bring compassionate, personalized mental health care to more patients across Florida. We support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, life transitions, addictions, and other mental health concerns through accessible, bilingual telehealth care.
We’re seeking an experienced, bilingual Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who wants to help shape a growing practice. This is an opportunity to build a patient caseload over time, contribute clinical expertise, and work with a team that values thoughtful care, professional autonomy, and strong patient relationships.
We provide referrals, scheduling and billing support, training and education, and the technology needed to deliver care. As we expand, we’re looking for clinicians who share our commitment to making quality mental health care more personal and accessible.
The Opportunity
• Fully remote patient care for Florida patients; applicants must reside in Florida.
• Part-time, 1099 independent contractor arrangement.
• Clinicians propose their appointment windows and commit to at least 10 total hours of weekly appointment availability across at least three days. The recurring schedule and subsequent changes are coordinated with the practice to support patient access and continuity of care.*
• Guaranteed fixed compensation for completed visits, paid every two weeks. Rates by visit type are agreed in writing before services begin. Payment for completed visits is not contingent on collection from patients or insurers.
• Practice support for referrals, scheduling, and billing, plus access to EHR and telehealth platforms.
• Commercially insured and self-pay patients.
• Clinicians exercise their professional judgment within their licensure, certification, applicable law, and supervising/collaborating physician protocol.
*The 10-hour requirement refers to appointment availability. Booked appointments, paid hours, minimum income, and a minimum caseload are not guaranteed. Caseload develops based on patient demand, referral fit, and availability.

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and develop individualized treatment plans.
• Provide medication management, patient education, and ongoing monitoring of treatment response and side effects.
