Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist

We are seeking a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to help launch a brand-new Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) serving high-acuity adolescents.

This is an opportunity to be a foundational member of a new program, working alongside experienced leadership to shape care delivery for a vulnerable population. If you're passionate about program development, team-based care, and adolescent mental health, this role offers both impact and long-term growth.

About the Program
  • Adolescent PHP (Ages 11-17)
  • High-acuity, structured outpatient alternative to inpatient care
  • Monday-Friday schedule
  • After-school model (2:00 PM - 6:00 PM)
  • Multidisciplinary, team-based environment
  • Focus on stabilization and transition to outpatient care

What You'll Do
  • Conduct psychiatric evaluations and ongoing assessments
  • Provide medication management and clinical oversight
  • Collaborate closely with therapists and program staff
  • Help shape and grow a new behavioral health program
  • Support continuity of care for high-risk adolescents

Schedule & Lifestyle
  • Combination of morning clinical hours + afternoon PHP coverage
  • No heavy call requirement (voluntary, minimal)
  • Predictable weekday schedule

Compensation & Benefits
  • $275K - $300K base salary (based on experience)
  • Performance-based incentive opportunities
  • $10K sign-on bonus
  • Full benefits package

What We're Looking For
  • Board Certified or Board Eligible in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Fellowship-trained (or graduating soon)
  • Interest in working with high-acuity adolescent populations
  • Collaborative, team-oriented mindset
  • Interest in program development is a plus

Why This Role Stands Out
  • Be instrumental in launching a new program from the ground up
  • Work in a newly renovated, dedicated behavioral health space
  • Join a mission-driven, collaborative team
  • Make a meaningful impact in adolescent mental health
