Virtual Adult Psychiatrist (Telehealth)
Weekly outpatient therapy isn't always enough, and a trip to the ER isn't the only answer. Patients and their families rely on Compass Health Center when in crisis – every day, we help people overcome depression, anxiety, suicidality, obsessions/compulsions, trauma, chronic pain, and other obstacles in order for our patients to live freely.
About This Role

Our virtual program offers both PHP and IOP levels of care, treating patients who are suffering from a variety of mood and anxiety disorders.

What You'll Do:
- Providing daily care for patients in the Compass PHP/IOP virtual programs
