Job description

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) or Psychiatric Physician Assistant (PA-C)

Build your psychiatric practice with a team that’s actually fun to work with—and a mission that matters.

SOS Wellness is a growing behavioral health practice with two locations in Southwest Ohio: Middletown, OH and Norwood, OH (Cincinnati area). We are looking for psychiatric NPs and PAs who want real clinical autonomy, a collaborative team, and a practice that takes patient experience as seriously as clinical excellence. We work with patients across the full diagnostic spectrum—including mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and SUD—and we are building something that treats both patients and clinicians like humans.

Why Clinicians Choose SOS Wellness

• A Mission-Driven Culture: We serve a diverse and growing patient base, spanning Medicaid, commercial insurance, underserved, and neurodiverse populations, as well as individuals in recovery. If doing meaningful work is on your non-negotiables list, you’ll fit right in.
• Uncompromising Patient Experience: We care deeply about how patients are treated from the moment they call to the moment they leave. Effective, appropriate care delivered without unnecessary waiting is our standard.
• A Supportive, Connected Team: From team lunches and an active group chat to regular team meetings, our therapists, case managers, and administrators actually have your back. The social and logistical pieces won’t land on your desk.
• Empathetic, Empowering Leadership: Our Medical Director, Dr. Irfan Dahar, MD, brings over 30 years of experience across community mental health and addiction medicine. He runs a practice where clinicians are trusted and supported, not micromanaged.
• True Cultural Alignment: We are trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming—and we mean it culturally, not just on paper. This shows up in how we practice, how we talk to each other, and how we build programs.
• Room to Help Shape the Future: With our Virtual IOP program launching and additional Ohio sites in development, there is significant runway here if you want to help build a program rather than just slot into an old one.

What This Is Not: A 30-patient-a-day mill. A place where you’re just a number. A practice still running on 2010 systems. If that’s what you’re escaping, come talk to us.

The Modern-Practice Basics

We provide the modern infrastructure you need to focus entirely on patient care:

• Valant EHR for streamlined clinical documentation
• Built-in telehealth flexibility when patient convenience calls for it
• Credentialing, billing, and prior authorizations fully handled by a dedicated admin team
• CARF-accredited, OhioMHAS-licensed, and LegitScript-certified— the institutional credibility is established so the bureaucracy doesn’t fall on you

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and provide ongoing medication management.
• Collaborate dynamically with therapists, case managers, and the Medical Director on integrated treatment plans.
• Practice at our Middletown, OH or Norwood, OH location, utilizing telehealth flexibility as appropriate for patient care.
• Manage your own schedule: choosing the full-time or part-time 1099 hours that fit your life.

Qualifications

• Active Ohio License: Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with PMHNP-BC certification, or a Physician Assistant (PA-C) with dedicated psychiatric experience.
• Active DEA registration (or willingness to obtain).
• Genuine comfort working across diverse payer mixes, including both Medicaid and commercial populations, with a strong commitment to accessible, dignified care.
• Ability to successfully pass a comprehensive background check and drug screening.
• Energy, curiosity, and the kind of clinical presence that patients remember.
