Estela Mental Health and Reproductive Psychiatry is a growing outpatient psychiatry practice in Austin dedicated to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care across the reproductive life span, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal transitions. As a newer, clinician-led practice, we are intentionally building a culture grounded in collaboration, clinical excellence, and sustainability.

We are seeking a full-time, bilingual English/Spanish Psychiatric Physician Assistant or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who is excited not only about providing excellent patient care, but also about being part of shaping the culture and growth of a modern psychiatry practice.

Position Overview

This full-time outpatient role focuses on adult and reproductive psychiatry in a supportive, growth-oriented environment:

• Comprehensive psychiatric medication management with supportive therapy
• Adult patient population, including a panel of Spanish-preferred patients across Texas
• Visit structure includes 60-minute intakes and 30-minute follow-ups
• Collaborative practice with a supervising physician readily available for consultation
• Structured onboarding and mentorship
• Hybrid schedule with one work-from-home day per week
• No call, no evenings, no weekends

Compensation

• Salary Range: $110,000 to $140,000, commensurate with experience

Benefits

• Health insurance through an employer-funded ICHRA with a monthly employer contribution
• 401(k) with match
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• CME allowance and dedicated CME days
• Malpractice insurance coverage
• Licensing, DEA, and professional fees covered
• Supportive administrative and clinical infrastructure

Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management visits in both English and Spanish
• Provide ongoing follow-up care with an emphasis on quality and continuity
• Maintain timely, high-quality clinical documentation
• Collaborate closely with the physician and administrative team to support coordinated, patient-centered care
• Contribute ideas and feedback to help shape clinical workflows, patient experience, and practice culture as the practice grows
• Practice in alignment with evidence-based, hormone-informed, and patient-centered standards

Qualifications – Required

• Licensed as a Physician Assistant (PA-C, NCCPA certified) or Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) in Texas, or able to obtain licensure prior to start date. New graduates are welcome to apply.
• Bilingual fluency in English and Spanish, sufficient to independently conduct psychiatric evaluations, risk assessments, and informed consent discussions in Spanish. This role serves Spanish-preferred patients, and language proficiency will be assessed during the interview process.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently while thriving in a collaborative, team-based environment

• Familiarity with hormone-informed or perinatal psychiatric care
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and comfortable helping build systems and processes over time

Why Join Estela

Estela offers a unique opportunity to join a growing, clinician-led practice where your voice matters. Rather than stepping into a rigid, fully-built system, you will have the chance to help shape how care is delivered, how the team works together, and how the practice evolves. Our bilingual care model expands access to reproductive psychiatry for Spanish-speaking women across Texas, a population that has historically had very few options. We prioritize transparency, thoughtful growth, and sustainable schedules, creating an environment where clinicians can do meaningful work and grow professionally alongside the practice.

Estela Mental Health is an equal opportunity employer. Bilingual English/Spanish fluency is a job-related requirement for this position based on the patient population served.
