Outpatient Psychiatrist

About the Role

Axe Recruiting is partnering with a growing behavioral health organization to recruit an Outpatient Psychiatrist for its Westbury, New York practice.

This is a high-impact opportunity for a psychiatrist who wants more than a traditional salary-only outpatient role. The organization has introduced a compensation model designed to provide the stability of a strong base salary while also creating meaningful upside for psychiatrists who build a productive caseload, maintain strong clinical standards, and contribute to the continued growth of the practice.

The organization provides accessible psychiatric care to a diverse patient population, including veterans, first responders, individuals with complex psychiatric needs, and patients requiring coordinated outpatient support.

This role is ideal for a psychiatrist who values clinical autonomy, multidisciplinary collaboration, community impact, and the opportunity to participate in a growing behavioral health platform.

Compensation & Total Earning Potential

This opportunity is built around a compensation model that rewards more than time in seat.

Base Salary: $250,000 annually

Estimated OTE: $300,000–$400,000+ annually, depending on productivity, patient volume, schedule utilization, payer mix, documentation standards, collections, organizational performance, and approved performance-based bonus eligibility.

Performance-Based Bonus Potential: In addition to base salary, the psychiatrist may be eligible for performance-based bonus compensation tied to productivity, patient care delivery, documentation quality, schedule utilization, and contribution to organizational growth.

This structure is designed for a psychiatrist who wants the security of a strong base salary with the ability to earn more as the practice grows.

This is not a capped, flat-pay clinical role. It is an opportunity to participate in a model where clinical quality, productivity, patient access, and organizational contribution are recognized.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This role offers the opportunity to join a growing outpatient behavioral health organization at a meaningful stage of expansion.

You will have the ability to:

• Build a strong outpatient psychiatry practice with administrative and clinical support behind you.
• Earn a stable $250,000 base salary with meaningful OTE upside.
• Participate in a performance-based compensation model that rewards productivity and contribution.
• Support veterans, first responders, and patients with complex mental health needs.
• Work alongside therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, care coordinators, and administrative leaders.
• Participate in community-based initiatives designed to expand access to mental health care.
• Support referral partnerships, outreach programs, and growth initiatives that connect more patients with care.
• Contribute to a care model focused on responsiveness, access, quality outcomes, and long-term patient support.

Community Initiatives & Growth Opportunities

The organization is actively building community-centered mental health initiatives designed to improve access to care and strengthen referral pathways.

As an Outpatient Psychiatrist, you may have opportunities to participate in initiatives involving:

• Veteran and first responder mental health support
• Community referral partnerships
• Local outreach programs
• Integrated behavioral health pathways
• Collaboration with therapists, PMHNPs, and care coordination teams
• Education and awareness initiatives focused on reducing stigma around mental health care
• Program development for patients with complex outpatient psychiatric needs

This is an opportunity for a psychiatrist who wants to do meaningful clinical work while helping shape a broader behavioral health platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive outpatient psychiatric care, including assessments, diagnoses, and treatment planning.
• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and mental status examinations.
• Develop and implement evidence-based treatment plans.
• Provide medication management and psychopharmacology services.
• Support patients with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, co-occurring conditions, personality disorders, and other complex outpatient psychiatric presentations.
• Collaborate with therapists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, case managers, care coordinators, and administrative team members to support coordinated care.
• Maintain accurate, timely, and compliant documentation in the EMR.
• Support clinical quality, continuity of care, and patient access goals.
• Participate in multidisciplinary case collaboration where appropriate.
• Contribute to community initiatives, referral development, and program growth where aligned with clinical and organizational needs.
• Stay current with ethical, legal, documentation, and professional standards in psychiatric practice.

Requirements

• Medical Degree: MD or DO.
• Board certification or board eligibility in Psychiatry.
• Valid and unrestricted medical license, or ability to obtain appropriate licensure.
• Experience providing outpatient psychiatric care.
• Strong clinical judgment and ability to manage complex outpatient psychiatric cases.
• Experience with medication management and evidence-based treatment planning.
• Comfort working with patients with co-occurring conditions and higher-acuity outpatient needs.
• Ability to collaborate within a multidisciplinary care team.
• Proficiency with electronic medical records.
• Strong communication, documentation, and organizational skills.
• Commitment to patient-centered care, ethical practice, and high-quality clinical outcomes.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Life insurance coverage
• 401(k) plan with up to 4% company match
• Paid time off
• Sick leave in compliance with New York State regulations
• Administrative and clinical support
• Collaborative multidisciplinary team environment
• Opportunity to participate in community-based mental health initiatives
• Performance-based bonus eligibility

Why Join?

This is a strong fit for a psychiatrist who wants a role with income stability, performance-based upside, and meaningful clinical impact.

The organization is building a care model that combines outpatient psychiatry, multidisciplinary collaboration, community partnerships, and accessible mental health services for patients who need consistent support.

You will not simply be stepping into a static clinical seat. You will be joining a growing behavioral health platform with the opportunity to help expand access, improve patient outcomes, and participate in the continued development of community-centered psychiatric care.

If you are a psychiatrist looking for strong base compensation, meaningful OTE potential, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to help grow a high-impact mental health organization, this could be an excellent fit.
