Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APN/PMHNP-BC) At Serenium Therapy & Wellness and Positive Reset Eatontown, we believe mental and emotional wellness is essential for everyone- not just those with a diagnosis. Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps clients cultivate lasting well-being through every stage of life. We are building a collaborative team of clinicians who value exceptional client care, lifelong learning, and supporting one another in a dynamic, team-focused environment. We're seeking a passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) to join our growing Eatontown office. This is a hybrid position requiring three days per week in our newly renovated Eatontown location, with the flexibility to complete the remainder of your schedule remotely. Our Outpatient Psychiatric Model Serenium provides outpatient psychiatric care, allowing our providers to develop ongoing relationships with clients rather than focusing solely on short-term or episodic medication management. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care that considers the whole person- not simply a diagnosis or a medication list. Our APNs/PMHNPs have the opportunity to collaborate directly with therapists and other clinicians, creating a truly integrated approach to mental health care. Our typical appointment structure includes 45-minute initial psychiatric evaluations and 30-minute medication management follow-ups, giving providers dedicated time to understand the client, review their history and symptoms, discuss treatment options, and make thoughtful clinical decisions. For full-time PMHNPs, our general scheduling goal is approximately 10–15 appointments per day, depending on the provider’s specialty, caseload, appointment mix, and clinical needs. We recognize that psychiatric care involves much more than the time spent face-to-face with a client, which is why administrative support and dedicated time for clinical documentation and other responsibilities are incorporated into the role. Our goal is to balance access to care with a schedule that allows our providers to deliver safe, thorough, evidence-based psychiatric treatment. Specialized Clinical Interests We are especially interested in PMHNPs with experience, training, or a strong interest in: Children & adolescents Women's mental health Perinatal, prenatal & postpartum psychiatry Trauma and PTSD ADHD Anxiety and depression Bipolar disorder OCD Eating disorders and body image concerns Substance use and recovery LGBTQIA+ affirming psychiatric care Men's mental health Pharmacogenomic-guided treatment Other specialized populations or areas of psychiatric expertise Have a specialty that isn't listed?

At Serenium, you'll join a practice where clinicians genuinely support one another and client care comes first. We believe psychiatric care is most effective when providers aren't working in isolation. Our model is therapy-first: clients receiving psychiatric services at Serenium are also connected with an individual therapist as part of their care. Our PMHNPs work closely with our therapists as an integrated clinical team, allowing medication management and psychotherapy to complement one another. We do not operate as a medication-management-only practice. If a client is ultimately appropriate for medication management without ongoing therapy, this transition would be considered collaboratively and require agreement between the treating therapist and APN/PMHNP, based on the client's clinical needs and treatment goals. We believe psychiatric care is most effective when providers have access to therapists, clinical leadership, supervision, consultation, and administrative support so they can focus on what they do best: providing excellent psychiatric care. You'll also have the opportunity to help shape a growing practice. As our services expand, we encourage clinicians to develop their specialties, pursue additional certifications, participate in educational initiatives, and grow into future leadership opportunities. #J-18808-Ljbffr Serenium Therapy & Wellness
