We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health. We recognize that mental health issues can be complex and multifaceted, and we are dedicated to treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.

We aim to create a world where mental health is no longer stigmatized or marginalized, but rather is embraced as an integral part of one's overall well-being. 

We believe that by providing quality care that is both evidence-based and compassionate, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health and achieve their full potential. We are passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with mental health issues and we strive to be a force for positive change in the field of mental healthcare.

• Strong working knowledge of psychiatric CPT coding and documentation requirements, including E/M level selection (MDM and Total Time), psychotherapy add-on codes (90833), and compliance standards.

• Demonstrated ability to conduct chart reviews, deliver empathetic yet direct feedback, and translate clinical findings into actionable improvement plans.

• Proficiency with modern EHRs, ticketers, and data platforms (e.g., AMD, Salesforce, Zendesk, Airtable, Looker, G-Suite) and comfort adapting to new software quickly.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active PMHNP licensure in multiple states.

• Prior experience in quality improvement, chart audits, or peer coaching—particularly with 1099 independent contractors or non-traditional employment models.

• Experience or interest in leveraging AI tools (e.g., AI scribes, AI-assisted chart review workflows) to enhance clinical quality and productivity.

• Experience writing clinical guidance documents, documentation templates, or coaching resources for a clinical audience.

• Exceptional eye for subtle clinical, coding, or documentation discrepancies in chart audits.
