Consulting Psychiatrist
About the role
Why Charlie Health?
Millions of people across the country are navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and eating disorders, but too often, they’re met with barriers to care. From limited local options and long wait times to treatment that lacks personalization, behavioral healthcare can leave people feeling unseen and unsupported.
Charlie Health exists to change that. Our mission is to connect the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment. We deliver personalized, virtual care rooted in connection—between clients and clinicians, care teams, loved ones, and the communities that support them. By focusing on people with complex needs, we’re expanding access to meaningful care and driving better outcomes from the comfort of home.
As a rapidly growing organization, we're reaching more communities every day and building a team that’s redefining what behavioral health treatment can look like. If you're ready to use your skills to drive lasting change and help more people access the care they deserve, we’d love to meet you.
The Provider Experience at Charlie Health:
- Flexibility: Our virtual program allows our psychiatrists the ability to work from home or wherever they are most comfortable.
- Support: All of our psychiatrists receive support from a full time Admissions and Assessment team so they can focus on what matters most–providing exceptional care to our clients.
- Ability to Develop Strong Relationships with Incredible Clients: We may be biased, but we think our clients are incredible.
- Collaboration: All Charlie Health psychiatrists participate in case discussions, which allow you to leverage the expertise of others to develop new skills and think outside the box.
- Free CEUs: Charlie Health provides all clinical staff with access to free, online CEUs to meet licensing requirements and explore topics of interest
- AI-Powered Documentation: We know that clinical documentation can be extremely cumbersome. At Charlie Health, providers have access to an AI-powered virtual scribe that streamlines clinical documentation and summarizes key points of client sessions.
