Job Description

As a psychiatrist at LifeStance, your focus remains on patient care. Our dedicated teams handle billing, technology, and administrative tasks, while local clinical leadership offers ongoing support and consultation to ensure your work is professionally rewarding.

Finally, we place a high value on lifelong learning. Psychiatrists at LifeStance have access to regular Grand Rounds led by subject matter experts, weekly consult hours with clinical leadership, a generous CME stipend, and opportunities to receive training in TMS and other innovative therapies. For those interested in teaching, we also offer compensated opportunities to supervise newly graduated PMHNPs.
