Job Description

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 Colorado 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.
