Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Welcome to Brightline! We are seeking a full-time Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to join our care team. In this role, you will work alongside an outstanding multidisciplinary team of therapists, psychologists, coaches, and prescribers to deliver thoughtful, high-quality psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and their families.
