Collaborative Psychiatric Supervision for Nurse Practitioners in California
Steady, engaged supervision from a psychiatrist who is genuinely present—within a structure that respects both our time.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with thirteen years in independent psychiatric practice, offering collaborative supervision to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners across California.
My aim is straightforward: to provide consistent, focused supervision that supports sound clinical judgment and continued professional growth. I take the supervisory relationship seriously and bring close attention to diagnostic reasoning, treatment decisions, risk assessment, and the clinical complexities that arise in everyday psychiatric practice.
I am currently accepting 2 California psychiatric nurse practitioners.
Fee: $1,500 per month · Telehealth · California-licensed PMHNPs
A genuine clinical relationship—not a formality on paper
Good supervision should feel dependable, thoughtful, and clinically useful. We meet at a regular, predictable time to review selected cases, examine your clinical reasoning, and discuss diagnostic or treatment questions.
My approach emphasizes diagnostic precision, conservative and evidence-based prescribing, careful attention to medical and neurological contributors, and early recognition of cases that require consultation, referral, or a higher level of care.
The goal is not to micromanage your practice. It is to provide a steady clinical structure within which you can think clearly, practice responsibly, and continue developing as a clinician.
What our monthly collaboration includes
-
One reserved 60-minute supervision meeting each month to review cases and discuss clinical decision-making, at a predictable time we establish together
-
A structured collaborative-practice agreement and standardized-procedure framework reflecting current California requirements
-
Brief communication between meetings when needed to determine whether a question can wait until our next scheduled meeting or requires a separate consultation
-
Relevant clinical resources, including articles, guidelines, and practical tools, when they would support our discussion or your ongoing practice
-
A consistent supervisory relationship grounded in diagnostic rigor, careful prescribing, professional accountability, and respect for your developing clinical autonomy
When a case requires more time
Occasionally, a particularly difficult case may require focused discussion beyond our regular monthly meeting. Additional case-consultation sessions can be scheduled as needed and are billed separately at my current professional consultation rate.
This provides a clear way to obtain more substantial input when necessary without creating an undefined or unlimited availability arrangement.
Who I work well with
I work best with:
-
California-licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners practicing in psychiatry or behavioral health
-
Clinicians with sufficient psychiatric training and experience to practice with appropriate autonomy
-
PMHNPs maintaining a manageable caseload and a clearly defined outpatient scope
-
Clinicians who value diagnostic precision, thoughtful prescribing, and careful risk assessment
-
Practitioners who recognize when a patient requires additional consultation, referral, or a higher level of care
-
PMHNPs interested in continued clinical growth and a supervisory relationship that involves genuine professional engagement
I supervise within psychiatry and behavioral health, where my expertise applies directly and where my oversight can meaningfully support both your practice and your patients.
