Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)

[We show compassion to heal minds.]

Legion Health is a technology-forward psychiatry company delivering world-class outpatient mental health care while expanding access for patients through insurance.

We are seeking exceptional Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) across the United States who are passionate about evidence-based psychiatry and want the time, support, and clinical autonomy needed to provide exceptional patient care.

Our innovative model combines the stability of a traditional hospital position with the flexibility of a private practice. We prioritize our clinicians' well-being and professional growth, offering a competitive compensation package and fostering a vibrant, collaborative culture.

Quality and patient experience are paramount to us. This means recruiting exceptional providers, championing evidence-based protocols, and displaying compassion in every patient interaction. Our exceptional PMHNPs operate with clinical autonomy, supported by experienced psychiatrists through consults and peer case reviews.

Our vision is to pioneer a new era of medicine by delivering world-class psychiatry. We believe in a future where every person can access the compassionate, high-quality care they need.
