Job description

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Position: Full-Time PMHNP
Location: Walla Walla, Washington
Schedule: Monday–Friday | Approximately 8–10 patients per day

At Access Mental Health Care, we believe exceptional mental health care begins with meaningful relationships, thoughtful clinical practice, and an environment where providers feel supported and valued.

We are a growing outpatient mental health practice in Walla Walla, Washington, seeking a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who shares our commitment to compassionate, individualized, evidence-based care.

Our approach emphasizes quality over volume. We believe clinicians do their best work when they have the time to listen, exercise professional judgment, and develop lasting therapeutic relationships with their patients.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or beginning your career, we welcome the opportunity to get to know you.

The Opportunity

As a member of our clinical team, you will provide comprehensive outpatient psychiatric care, including medication management and psychotherapy when appropriate.

With a manageable schedule of approximately 8–10 patients per day, our practice is designed to support thoughtful clinical decision-making rather than high-volume patient encounters.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Provide compassionate psychiatric assessment, treatment, and ongoing care to a diverse patient population.
• Integrate medication management and psychotherapy according to individual patient needs.
• Develop meaningful therapeutic relationships through continuity of care.
• Exercise clinical independence within a collaborative and supportive practice.
• Work alongside experienced clinical and administrative professionals committed to excellent patient care.

A Practice That Values Its People

We recognize that providing excellent care requires more than clinical expertise. It also requires a professional environment that supports the people delivering that care.

At Access Mental Health Care, we strive to offer:

A Manageable Caseload
A balanced schedule that allows time for thoughtful, individualized treatment.

Professional Independence
Respect for your clinical experience, judgment, and approach to patient care.

A Collaborative Environment
A supportive team that values open communication, mutual respect, and shared commitment to patients.

Opportunities for Growth
The chance to contribute to the development of a growing outpatient practice while advancing your own professional skills and interests.

Work-Life Balance
A Monday-through-Friday schedule, paid time off, and a practice culture that recognizes the importance of personal well-being.

Compensation and Benefits

Access Mental Health Care offers competitive compensation based on qualifications and experience, along with a supportive, collaborative work environment.

Benefits include paid vacation and holidays, employer-provided malpractice insurance, and continuing education support.

Health insurance contributions and retirement benefits are currently under development as we evaluate options for our growing practice.

Specific compensation and benefits will be discussed during the interview process.

Student Loan Repayment Opportunities

Access Mental Health Care is a preapproved clinical site for the Washington Health Corps.

Eligible clinicians may apply for Washington Health Corps loan repayment assistance, with potential awards of up to $75,000, subject to program requirements, available funding, and competitive selection.

We are also working toward National Health Service Corps (NHSC) site approval to expand future opportunities for eligible clinicians.

Loan repayment awards are administered by the respective programs and are not guaranteed.

Who We're Looking For

We welcome applications from Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners who:

• Hold or are eligible to obtain an active Washington State ARNP license with appropriate PMHNP certification.
• Value compassionate, patient-centered, evidence-based psychiatric care.
• Appreciate a collaborative environment while exercising independent clinical judgment.
• Communicate effectively with patients, colleagues, and administrative staff.
• Are interested in developing meaningful professional relationships within the Walla Walla community.

Both experienced clinicians and qualified new graduates are encouraged to apply.
