Job description
Psychiatric Medical Director - Part-Time Hybrid Role | Queens, NY
Location: Forest Hills & Jackson Heights, Queens, NY
Schedule: Approximately 18-21 hours weekly with flexible scheduling
Work Setting: Primarily Remote / Hybrid with periodic on-site presence as needed
Compensation: $125-$145 per hour
Department: Psychiatry / Medical Leadership
Reports to: Executive Leadership Team
Help Shape the Future of Community Behavioral Health Care
Bleuler Psychotherapy Center is seeking an experienced Psychiatrist to serve as Psychiatric Medical Director for our growing outpatient behavioral health programs in Queens, NY. This leadership role offers the opportunity to help shape psychiatric care delivery across both our OMH-licensed mental health clinics and OASAS-certified substance use treatment programs within a respected nonprofit organization that has served the community for over 70 years.
This is an ideal opportunity for a psychiatrist seeking a flexible, primarily remote leadership role that combines clinical oversight, mentorship, collaboration, and strategic input - without the demands of a large hospital system or high-volume inpatient setting.
Our programs include outpatient mental health treatment, substance use services, Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), and a Gambling Addiction Designation.
This Role Is Best Suited For
An experienced psychiatrist who:
Enjoys mentoring and collaborating with Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners
Values thoughtful, team-based outpatient psychiatry
Wants meaningful leadership involvement without excessive bureaucracy
Is comfortable providing clinical guidance, oversight, and consultation
Appreciates flexibility, autonomy, and mission-driven work
This is not a high-volume production role. It is a clinical leadership position focused on maintaining quality psychiatric care, supporting interdisciplinary teams, and strengthening outpatient behavioral health services.
What You'll Do
Provide overall clinical leadership and psychiatric oversight across outpatient mental health and substance use programs
Maintain a small outpatient psychiatric caseload as clinically appropriate
Serve as collaborating physician and clinical supervisor for Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners
Support onboarding, mentorship, and ongoing professional development of PMHNPs and prescribing clinicians
Provide consultation regarding complex psychiatric presentations, medication management, and treatment planning
Review and approve treatment plans, particularly for medication-management-only clients
Participate in Incident Review Committee meetings, medical staff meetings, interdisciplinary discussions, and quality initiatives
Support utilization review, peer review, risk management, and clinical quality assurance processes
Assist with development and review of psychiatric policies, procedures, and clinical protocols
Promote evidence-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered psychiatric care organization-wide
Ensure documentation, prescribing practices, and clinical workflows meet regulatory and ethical standards
Required Qualifications
MD or DO from an accredited medical school
Active and unrestricted New York State medical license
Board Certification in Psychiatry required
DEA registration and NY controlled substance certification required
Strong knowledge of OMH, OASAS, and behavioral health regulatory requirements
Ability to supervise and collaborate with Nurse Practitioners under NYS requirements
Comfortable working independently within a hybrid/remote leadership structure
Experience with EHR systems and psychiatric documentation review
Preferred Experience
Board Certification in Addiction Psychiatry or Addiction Medicine strongly preferred
Prior experience as a Medical Director, Supervising Psychiatrist, or psychiatric leader in outpatient behavioral health
Experience supervising Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners
Familiarity with utilization review, incident review, and quality improvement initiatives
Experience in community mental health, outpatient psychiatry, or substance use treatment preferred
Why Psychiatrists Choose Bleuler
Primarily remote leadership structure with scheduling flexibility
Opportunity to shape and strengthen psychiatric services across multiple outpatient programs
Collaborative, interdisciplinary clinical culture
Established nonprofit organization with deep roots in Queens communities
Ability to influence systems of care rather than simply manage high-volume caseloads
Leadership role with meaningful clinical impact and operational support
Ready to Help Lead a Growing Behavioral Health Organization?
If you are a collaborative psychiatrist who values clinical excellence, mentorship, flexibility, and mission-driven care, we encourage you to apply.
Join Bleuler Psychotherapy Center and help expand access to thoughtful, high-quality psychiatric care throughout Queens.
