About NeuroHealth Associates

NeuroHealth Associates is an established, multidisciplinary outpatient mental health practice seeking a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) to join our clinical team in Oak Brook, Illinois.

For more than two decades, our practice has integrated neuropsychological assessment, psychopharmacology, quantitative EEG (qEEG), neurofeedback, and neuromodulation to provide individualized, data-informed mental health care.

Led by a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist with advanced training in psychopharmacology and brain-based interventions, NeuroHealth offers a distinctive clinical environment that combines conventional psychiatric treatment with innovative approaches to understanding and treating brain function.

We are seeking a compassionate, intellectually curious psychiatric nurse practitioner who values evidence-based care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the opportunity to develop expertise beyond traditional medication management.

Both experienced PMHNPs and motivated new graduates are encouraged to apply.

The Position

The primary clinical responsibilities include psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, medication management, and ongoing treatment of patients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma-related disorders, and other psychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions.

However, this is not exclusively a medication management position.

At NeuroHealth, psychiatric treatment is informed by a broader understanding of cognition, brain function, neurophysiology, and individual differences in treatment response.

As an integral member of our clinical team, the PMHNP will participate in a structured training program involving neuropsychological assessment, qEEG interpretation, neurofeedback, and neuromodulation. These areas are fundamental to our practice philosophy and represent an essential component of the position.

Prior experience in these specialties is not required, but a genuine interest in learning and incorporating these approaches into clinical practice is expected.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, establish diagnoses, and provide ongoing medication management.

• Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans incorporating pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions.

• Review and integrate relevant neuropsychological assessment findings into clinical decision-making.

• Complete structured training in qEEG interpretation, including foundational principles of neurophysiology and brain electrical activity.

• Develop working knowledge of neurofeedback approaches, including their clinical applications, treatment protocols, and monitoring of patient response.

• Learn the principles and clinical applications of neuromodulation technologies used within the practice.

• Collaborate with the practice's board-certified neuropsychologist and other clinical staff in developing and monitoring individualized treatment plans.

• Utilize appropriate clinical assessments, treatment outcome measures, and relevant diagnostic information to monitor patient progress.

• Educate patients and families regarding psychiatric conditions, medication options, neurofeedback, and other treatment modalities.

• Participate in ongoing professional education and clinical case consultation.

Qualifications

• Master's or doctoral degree from an accredited Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program.

• ANCC PMHNP-BC certification, or eligibility to obtain certification before beginning clinical practice.

• Active Illinois APRN licensure, or eligibility for licensure.

• Appropriate Illinois prescriptive authority and DEA registration, or eligibility to obtain them before prescribing.

• Strong clinical judgment, interpersonal skills, and commitment to evidence-based psychiatric care.

• Intellectual curiosity and a willingness to develop expertise in neurophysiology, neurofeedback, and neuromodulation.

• Commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration, continued learning, and individualized patient care.

Prior experience in qEEG, neurofeedback, or neuromodulation is not required. Comprehensive training will be provided, and participation in this training is an essential requirement of the position.

Compensation and Schedule

• Annual base salary: $120,000–$135,000 , commensurate with qualifications and experience.

• Four-day, 32-hour workweek , with no fifth-day clinical or administrative obligations.

• Flexible weekday scheduling.

• Full-time W-2 employment.

• Opportunities for additional productivity-based compensation as the patient caseload develops.

• Paid time off, health insurance, and retirement benefits, as applicable.

• Structured mentorship and specialized clinical training.

• Established outpatient practice with an existing referral network and clinical infrastructure.
