We are seeking a Psychiatrist to join our team in a clinical capacity with the option to add on program development and supervision as we thoughtfully expand our psychiatry services.

We are open to part-time or full-time involvement, with flexibility in scheduling and structure.

Clinical Population

• Autistic and neurodivergent individuals
• ADHD and executive functioning differences
• Anxiety, mood, and related conditions

Practice Environment

• Highly collaborative, collegial team culture
• Administrative and operational infrastructure in place

• Active California medical license 
• Expertise in working with neurodivergent populations
• Thoughtful, measured approach to prescribing and clinical care
