About the Role
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Affect, you’ll play a key role in leading member care alongside a collaborative team of counselors, therapists, peer support specialists, and case managers.
You’ll provide evidence-based treatment for individuals navigating substance use and mental health disorders in a fully virtual environment.
Affect specializes in substance-specific care. We prescribe Suboxone for Opioid Use Disorder and do not prescribe other controlled substances. While we provide extensive training in our treatment approach, clinical decisions remain at the provider’s discretion in collaboration with the member.
For full-time roles, we are specifically seeking providers who are particularly strong on the mental health side. While experience with substance use disorder treatment and Suboxone prescribing is important, this role requires confidence in assessing and managing more complex mental health conditions.
