Job Description

Help us build the future of senior mental health

Total Life is a national telehealth platform built for older adults. Today, we deliver behavioral health care to Medicare beneficiaries across 49 states through a network of 200+ credentialed providers. We were founded on a simple, personal belief: that the people who spent their lives caring for everyone else deserve care that actually meets them where they are.

We're now building out a dedicated psychiatric care team for seniors, starting in Florida — and we're hiring PMHNPs and psychiatrists to help us deliver it.

This is a ground-floor role. You won't be slotting into an existing clinic; you'll help shape one — the protocols, the patient journey, and the standard of care for online senior psychiatric medicine.

What You'll Do

Conduct telehealth psychiatric evaluations and follow-up visits for older adults

Diagnose and manage psychiatric conditions common in seniors, with medication management within your scope of practice

Provide thoughtful, relationship-centered care — our model is built around therapeutic alliance and outcomes, not rushed visits

Complete clinical documentation in our platform (intake templates and code scaffolding provided)

Collaborate with our broader care team — lifestyle/longevity NPs, nutrition, therapy, and primary care coordination — to support the whole person

Surface meaningful escalations to patients' primary care providers (e. g., medication or adherence concerns) so care stays connected

Help shape the clinical model itself: protocols, intake, outcome measures, and the patient experience

Who You Are

A board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), OR a psychiatrist (MD/DO) in good standing

  • Active, unencumbered Florida license (or willingness to license in Florida; multi-state licensure a plus)
  • Active DEA registration (Florida DEA required to prescribe for Florida patients)
  • For PMHNPs: a collaborating physician in place, or willingness to establish one — Florida requires PMHNPs to practice under a collaborative arrangement
  • Experienced with, and energized by, caring for older adults
  • Comfortable practicing via two-way live video telehealth
  • Mission-driven, collaborative, and ready to be a key voice on our clinical team
  • The model
  • 1099, part-time contractor — fits alongside an existing practice
  • Soft commitment starting around 10 hours/week, with room to grow as the patient panel builds
  • We manage credentialing, scheduling, and billing — including insurance collection risk, which is ours, not yours
  • Patients are primarily Medicare, commercial, and dual-eligible (Medicare-Medicaid); 21+ population

Why This Role Is Different

  • Your fingerprints will be on the entire psychiatric care model — protocols, standards, patient experience
  • You'll have time to actually care — relationships and outcomes, not 12-minute visits
  • You'll work with a team that's already delivered behavioral health outcomes for older adults at national scale
  • 100% remote, with the flexibility of a telehealth-native company
  • At Total Life, we bring the calm of a clear plan to a stage of life that too often feels overwhelming.
