About Metta Vita Health

Metta Vita Health is an established and growing private psychiatric and integrative mental health practice with physical locations in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Hawaii, and plans to expand into Florida and New York.

We bring psychiatry, therapy, and functional medicine together to care for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Our patients include neurodivergent individuals, students, parents, creatives, athletes, and professionals.

Care here is relational and personalized: we explore how physical health, development, stress, relationships, and lived experience shape well-being, then build clear, manageable plans together.

Join us as an adult functional medicine NP, connecting hormone, metabolic, gut, and mental health care through individualized treatment and collaboration.

The Metta Vita Way

Curiosity before judgment. Validation before advice. Connection before correction.

At MVH, we care for the whole person with compassion, curiosity, and sound clinical judgment. We value teammates who take initiative, communicate openly, follow through, and grow together—with room for humor, community, and fun.

Working at MVH

• Autonomy with collaboration: Use your clinical judgment with colleagues who share knowledge across disciplines.
• A voice in the practice: Help shape MVH's functional medicine services, protocols, and patient experience.
• Hybrid flexibility: Combine remote care and in-person connection through an agreed part-time schedule.

Minimum of 2 years of direct clinical experience in functional or integrative medicine required, including independent adult patient care.

Formal certification in functional or integrative medicine required through IFM, A4M, or another recognized and comparable program.

Doctoral degree, including a DNP, PhD, or equivalent, preferred. Candidates without a doctoral degree may be considered based on the depth and relevance of their clinical experience. The minimum 2-year experience requirement applies to all candidates.

Active NP licensure in one or more of the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, Hawaii, or Florida. Licensure in both North Carolina and South Carolina is strongly preferred, with openness to obtaining additional licenses as the practice grows.

Active DEA registrations in at least 2 states; North Carolina and South Carolina strongly preferred. MVH will assist with obtaining additional DEA registrations needed for the role.

Strong knowledge of conventional laboratory assessment across metabolic health, thyroid function, hormones, nutrition, inflammation, gastrointestinal health, and cardiometabolic risk.

Familiarity with specialty testing such as DUTCH or comparable hormone and cortisol testing, GI-MAP or comparable gastrointestinal testing, nutrigenomic/SNP testing such as 3x4 Genetics or comparable platforms, and pharmacogenomic testing.

Ability to interpret specialty testing thoughtfully, understand its limitations, and determine whether the results are likely to meaningfully change care.

Demonstrated experience with hormone management and BHRT, including appropriate patient selection, risk assessment, monitoring, and follow-up.

Experience with metabolic and weight-management care, including GLP-1 therapy when clinically appropriate.

Peptide therapy experience required, including patient selection, education, informed decision-making, monitoring, safety considerations, and recognition of adverse effects.

Strong knowledge of supplements, including indications, dosing, interactions, contraindications, and monitoring.

Ability to translate complex histories and laboratory findings into prioritized, clinically appropriate, and manageable treatment plans, rather than overwhelming patients with multiple simultaneous interventions.

Familiarity with Fullscript for supplement recommendations, patient education, and laboratory workflows preferred.

Comfort with telehealth, electronic documentation, timely patient communication, and an organized hybrid workflow.

Pediatric or adolescent functional medicine experience is valued, along with willingness to cross-train and provide planned reciprocal coverage within certification, licensure, training, and demonstrated competence
