Description We're glad you found us. Athena Care has been offering high quality, accessible mental health care for over twenty years. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that great care starts with great clinicians who actually feel supported. We're an insurance-based practice growing across Tennessee, and we're looking for a therapist near Knoxville to join our team - though if you're somewhere else in TN, let's talk anyway. We offer psychological testing, IOP/PHP, Spravato/IM Ketamine, TMS, psychotherapy, group therapy, and general psychiatry- often all under one roof. It's a lot - and it means your patients receive genuinely comprehensive care, and you get unique and interesting colleagues. Who we're looking for Someone who is curious about people. Someone who finds energy in working with a diverse patient population and cares deeply about the humans sitting across from them. You're fully licensed and boarded as a PMHNP-BC and ready to practice independently - but that doesn't mean you want to work in isolation. You like collaboration; you value good clinical conversation, and you'd appreciate a team that actually has your back. What it's like to work here We've worked hard to combine rigor and high-quality care with a fun and friendly work culture. Our staff aims to quietly take care of operations so you can stay focused on your patients. No drowning in admin chaos. No shouting into a void when you need support.
