About the role

Original posting from Third Space via Ashby

Third Space Therapy combines the independence of private practice with the support of a group setting, focused on expanding Medicaid-covered behavioral healthcare.

We're looking for passionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners to provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing care to the Medicaid population. We handle the administrative side — billing, insurance, credentialing — so you can focus on care.

Why clinicians work with us

  • Complete flexibility. You set your own hours and availability, decide which referrals to take, and build the caseload that works for you — alongside your own practice or other work, if you have it.
  • Administrative support. We handle insurance, billing, and credentialing, and clients book into the availability you set.
  • Robust referral network. Build a diverse caseload through our connections with insurers, universities, and community providers.
  • Collaborative practice support. Where Virginia requires a practice agreement with a patient care team physician, we'll help connect you with an independently licensed collaborating physician. Clinical decisions remain yours.
  • Optional peer consultation. Connect with other independent clinicians in the network when you'd like a second perspective.
  • Remote practice model. Enjoy the independence of private practice with the backing of a group — from wherever you work.
  • Paid per session. You're paid for the clinical work you deliver, at a competitive rate.
  • Meaningful work. Make a real difference for Medicaid members and help close gaps in access to care.

What you'll bring

  • An active, unrestricted PMHNP license in good standing in Virginia
  • National board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC)
  • Prescriptive authority, active DEA registration, and Virginia controlled substance registration
  • Experience providing psychiatric evaluations and prescribing psychotropic medications
  • Your own malpractice coverage ($1M per occurrence / $3M aggregate)
  • Experience with EHR systems and other digital tools
  • A quiet, HIPAA-compliant home office, plus your own computer and reliable internet, for confidential virtual sessions
  • Fluency in English; proficiency in Spanish is preferred, and additional languages are a plus

We're looking for providers who bring

  • Strong clinical judgment in managing psychiatric conditions across diverse populations
  • A patient-centered approach to medication management and treatment planning
  • Experience collaborating with therapists and other providers as part of a multidisciplinary care team
  • Commitment to equity in mental health access for Medicaid populations
