Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) Jobs in Alaska
Outpatient PMHNP roles within established Alaska-based private practices, focused on psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and collaborative care.
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Jobs in Alaska
Our outpatient practices on the Kenai Peninsula and in the Mat-Su Valley are expanding to include a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner role. This position has been developed intentionally to support integrated outpatient care within established private practice settings.
PMHNPs in this role provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management in collaboration with experienced therapists. The focus is outpatient care delivered within a coordinated clinical team, allowing psychiatric treatment to align closely with ongoing therapy and long-term client relationships.
You will be supported by established administrative and clinical systems, including care coordination, scheduling support, and consistent referrals. Caseloads are designed to be sustainable, and workflows are structured to allow you to focus on clinical decision-making rather than operational tasks.
This role is designed for a psychiatric nurse practitioner who values collaboration, clinical integrity, and thoughtful outpatient work. The goal is not volume or speed, but high-quality psychiatric care delivered in a stable, professionally supportive environment.
What This Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Role Looks Like Within Our Practices.
This is a clinical, client-facing outpatient role focused on psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and collaborative care. Psychiatric nurse practitioners work closely with therapists to support clients with a range of mental health needs within an established private practice setting.
PMHNPs are integrated members of the clinical team, not siloed providers. Therapists actively collaborate with psychiatric providers, and systems are designed to support clear communication, coordinated treatment planning, and continuity of care.
This role emphasizes thoughtful, relationship-based outpatient psychiatry rather than high-volume or transactional care. Clinical autonomy is supported within a structured practice environment that values consistency, professionalism, and ethical standards.

Are a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)
Are licensed or license-eligible in the state of Alaska
Value collaborative care and interdisciplinary teamwork
Appreciate autonomy in clinical decision-making supported by reliable administrative systems

Why This PMHNP Role Is Structured Differently
This PMHNP role is built around a clear outpatient care model rather than volume-driven or crisis-based work. Clinical workflows, scheduling, and communication systems are designed to support thoughtful psychiatric care without unnecessary operational friction.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners work within a collaborative treatment environment that emphasizes coordination with therapists while maintaining clear professional boundaries and clinical autonomy. The expectation is not speed or throughput, but careful evaluation, responsible medication management, and continuity of care.
The practice structure supports independent clinical decision-making without isolation. Administrative tasks are handled by support staff, documentation expectations are reasonable, and communication with the broader clinical team is straightforward and respectful.
This role is intended for PMHNPs who value depth, consistency, and long-term outpatient practice within a stable clinical setting.
Compensation and Pay Structure
This PMHNP role is offered as a W2 position with clear expectations and reliable administrative support. Compensation is structured on a per-appointment basis, with higher rates associated with increased caseload volume. The intent is to support sustainable outpatient practice rather than productivity pressure.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners have autonomy in how their schedules are built, including the number of clients seen and the structure of the clinical week. Referrals are handled through established practice systems, allowing PMHNPs to maintain consistent caseloads without the need for self-marketing or outreach.
All core business and operational costs are covered by the practice, including malpractice insurance, electronic health records, administrative support, and marketing. Clinical work is fully outpatient, with no on-call responsibilities, crisis coverage, or emergency room consults.
The role includes access to a flexible healthcare benefit. Administrative systems are designed to remain stable over time, allowing PMHNPs to focus on clinical care, refine their practice, and adjust workload as professional goals evolve.
A Professional Path Forward
Psychiatric nurse practitioners who thrive in this role value sound clinical judgment, reliability, and ethical outpatient care. We are seeking a PMHNP who approaches evaluation and medication management thoughtfully and who values collaboration within a stable clinical team.
Professional experience, references, and conversations during the interview process help determine whether this role is a strong mutual fit. Our goal is to build a long-term psychiatric role that integrates seamlessly into established outpatient practices and supports consistent, high-quality care.
If you are seeking a PMHNP position that offers stability, clinical autonomy, and strong administrative support within an Alaska-based outpatient setting, we invite you to explore this opportunity further.
