In this unique hybrid role, you’ll deliver meaningful psychoeducational support while working alongside a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner during each patient visit.

• Document all sessions and tasks in the Electronic Health Record (EHR)
• Manage appointment scheduling, follow-ups, and HIPAA-compliant communication
   

You’ll work with 1 client per hour—combining coaching, charting, and medical assistant duties in every session.

What We’re Looking For:

• Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Social Work, or related field preferred
• Or: certification and experience in Life Coaching, CNA, LPN, RBT, teaching, or similar
• Critical thinker with strong organizational and multitasking skills
