Remote Psychiatrist (MD/DO) - California

Talkiatry

Talkiatry is a clinician-led, virtual psychiatry practice built to combine the stability of a hospital practice with the clinical autonomy of private practice.

This role is designed for psychiatrists who want:

• Predictable, W-2 compensation and benefits
• Flexible scheduling, control over their schedule, session structure, and patient population
• Minimal administrative burden in a fully remote, outpatient model

What your day-to-day practice looks like:

• 100% remote, outpatient psychiatry
• Lower to moderate acuity populations (ex. anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD)
• Patient population across the lifespan: children & adolescents (treated by board-certified Child & Adolescent Psychiatrists only), adults, and geriatric patients
• Standard session lengths (60-minute intakes, 30-minute follow-ups)
• No inpatient, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization care or crisis coverage
• In-house referral network to therapists
• Full operational support, including scheduling, billing, intake coordination, and licensing

Clinical autonomy & flexibility:

• Control over schedule and weekly availability
• Session length within established clinical standards
• Patient population, balanced to individual criteria and preferences
• Clinical decision-making without pressure to shorten visits or increase volume

Benefits & stability:

• Employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance (up to 100% of premiums)
• Malpractice coverage (occurrence-based, 100% employer-paid)
• 401(k) match with employer match and Day 1 vesting
• Paid time off (PTO), paid sick time, and 11 paid holidays
• Paid parental leave and long-term retention benefits (ex. 4-week paid sabbatical after 5 years)
• CME reimbursement and dedicated CME days
• Licensing support with upfront coverage of costs
• Technology package provided

What we're looking for:

• Board-certified or board-eligible psychiatrists (MD/DO)
• Active, unrestricted medical license (multi-state licensing support available)
• Interest in outpatient, 100% telepsychiatry-based care
• Comfort with learning streamlined clinical technology
• Strong clinical judgement, communication skills, and collaborative mindset

Full-time and part-time W-2 employment

Total annual on-target earnings of $325k - $375k +, consisting of:

• Base salary
• Monthly productivity incentive (guaranteed during initial 6-month onboarding period)

Our history

Talkiatry was founded in 2020 by Dr. Georgia Gaveras, a triple board-certified psychiatrist in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry, and Robert Krayn, a patient who experienced firsthand the challenges of accessing care. Together, they set out to reimagine outpatient psychiatry by building a model that supports both patients and clinicians, while expanding access to mental healthcare.

Our clinical community includes 800+ psychiatrists and PMHNPs and 350+ therapists practicing across 32 languages.
