Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Step away from the demands of traditional clinical practice and enjoy a structured, low-stress environment with guaranteed W-2 compensation, work-life balance, and built-in support.

  • Perform clinical interviews, mental health assessments, and comprehensive record reviews
  • Assess psychiatric and psychological conditions in support of Veteran disability evaluations
  • Work in a low-volume setting, typically seeing 1–4 Veterans per day
  • Complete documentation electronically through a secure platform
  • Receive fully provided technology, training, and clinical support

What You WON’T Do

  • No ongoing therapy or counseling sessions
  • No treatment planning or long-term patient management
  • No prescribing responsibilities
  • No disability rating calculations or benefits determinations
  • No scheduling responsibilities or walk-in patients
  • No nights, weekends, holidays, or on-call responsibilities

Who We’re Looking For
