Role Description

AFM Family & Internal Medicine in Fairfax, VA is looking for a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner to lead behavioral health care inside our primary care practice. This is a chance to build something: you’ll work alongside our physicians and care management team to bring psychiatric care to patients who might otherwise wait months for a referral. If you want to practice integrated, team-based mental health care in a supportive setting, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Provide psychiatric evaluations, diagnoses and treatment plans for adult patients, many of them older adults with chronic conditions.
• Prescribe and manage psychiatric medications, including monitoring, follow-up and coordination with primary care providers.
• Serve as the psychiatric consultant for our Collaborative Care (CoCM) and behavioral health integration program, including regular caseload reviews with our behavioral health care manager.
• Manage common conditions seen in primary care, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD and substance use concerns.
• Offer brief psychotherapy and supportive counseling as appropriate.
• Document encounters accurately and on time in our EHR.
• Collaborate with physicians, nurses and support staff to keep care coordinated.
• Follow up on labs, referrals and patient questions promptly.
• Follow all clinical protocols, HIPAA regulations and safety standards.

Qualifications

• Master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited PMHNP program.
• Current PMHNP-BC board certification through ANCC.
• Active, unrestricted Virginia NP license with prescriptive authority, or eligibility to obtain one.
• Active DEA registration, or willingness to obtain one.
• Psychiatric experience preferred; experience in primary care or integrated behavioral health is a strong plus.
• Comfortable with telehealth and EHR systems.
• Strong communication skills and a patient-first approach.
• Ability to work well in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Requirements

• This is a remote position.
