Are you a seasoned clinician drawn to complex, high-acuity psychiatric care? Do you believe individuals involved in the justice system deserve consistent, high-quality mental health treatment?

You will provide:

Permanent 4/10 schedule
No call, weekends, or after-hours responsibilities

Why This Role Stands Out
This is a rare opportunity to practice forensic-informed psychiatry in a structured, supportive environment where clinical quality is prioritized over volume. You'll have autonomy, protected time, strong compensation, and a lifestyle rooted in one of the most scenic regions in the Pacific Northwest.
