Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

About Neura

Neura Health is a nationwide, doctor-led practice built to eliminate the barriers between patients and life-changing care. As the country's leading virtual neurology clinic, we provide an all-in-one longitudinal platform where cutting-edge technology meets specialized expertise to manage the entire spectrum of neurological diseases. While traditional brick-and-mortar clinics are at a breaking point, forcing patients to endure dangerous 4-6 month wait times, Neura is scaling the nation’s largest virtual practice to deliver immediate access to the 145 million Americans in need. Through strategic partnerships with leading health systems, pharmaceutical innovators, and large clinics, as well as a direct-to-patient model, we are fundamentally transforming the referral landscape and reducing average wait time from 276 days to 5 days. Our tech-enabled model provides a comprehensive, end-to-end experience that goes far beyond a standard consultation. We offer patients seamless access to personalized care plans and expert care navigation, ensuring no one has to manage their journey alone. This mission is powered by our multidisciplinary specialized care teams, which include world-class physicians, nurse practitioners, physician associates, and dedicated care coaches. We leverage AI-powered workflow optimization and continuous monitoring for everything from chronic headaches and epilepsy to complex memory disorders. Backed by $22M in funding from world-class investors, we are not just improving neurology; we are revolutionizing it. We are looking for purpose-driven innovators to join us in making high-quality brain health a reality for everyone.

About the Role

Neura Health is expanding its care model into behavioral health, and we’re looking for our first Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to help us build this vertical from the ground up.

As the first PMHNP, you will provide high-quality telehealth psychiatric care to Neura patients, working within our multidisciplinary care team. This is a part-time contract role (minimum 8 hours per week) with significant growth potential as we scale our behavioral health vertical. Multi-state licensure is strongly preferred — the more states you are licensed in, the greater your impact.
