LifeStance Health·Boston, Massachusetts
Psychiatrists are responsible for providing high-quality mental health care and managing patient caseloads in an outpatient setting. They also have the opportunity to integrate psychotherapy into their practice and supervise newly graduated psychiatric nurse practitioners.
At LifeStance, we are committed to making high-quality mental health care more accessible without compromising what matters most to clinicians: time with patients, access to a multidisciplinary team, and a culture that prioritizes evidenced based care and clinical excellence.
As a psychiatrist at LifeStance, your focus remains on patient care.
Our dedicated teams handle billing, technology, and administrative tasks, while local clinical leadership offers ongoing support and consultation to ensure your work is professionally rewarding.
We believe strongly in personalizing one’s practice.
Psychiatrists work in-person or in hybrid models, setting their own scheduled hours and appointment lengths.
Our Care Matching model allows you to build a caseload aligned with your interests and areas of expertise.
We welcome psychiatrists who enjoy integrating psychotherapy into their everyday practice.
You’ll work alongside experienced therapists, neuropsychologists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners in a collegial environment that encourages collaboration.
Finally, we place a high value on lifelong learning.
Psychiatrists at LifeStance have access to regular Grand Rounds led by subject matter experts, weekly consult hours with clinical leadership, a generous CME stipend, and opportunities to receive training in TMS and other innovative therapies.
For those interested in teaching, we also offer compensated opportunities to supervise newly graduated PMHNPs.
