Frontier Psychiatry is a physician-led, tech-enabled telehealth organization on a mission to improve the mental wellbeing of people in rural communities nationwide. We deliver timely, scalable, and evidence-based care in psychiatry and addiction medicine through innovative virtual solutions that expand access to those who need it most.
Since our launch, Frontier Psychiatry has grown rapidly while maintaining a deep commitment to our founding purpose — lifting the mental wellbeing of underserved populations. Our work is guided by healthcare’s Quintuple Aim, which drives every decision we make:
- Deliver excellent patient care.
- Support the well-being of our team.
- Lower the total cost of care.
- Improve the population health of the communities we serve.
- Advance health equity.
If you’re passionate about meaningful work, innovation in behavioral health, and making a lasting difference in people’s lives, we’d love for you to join our team.
Why This Role Exists
Frontier Psychiatry was founded by Montana psychiatrists who saw their neighbors waiting months—or driving hours—for specialized mental health care.
To meet the needs of the rural communities we call home, we built Frontier—a secure telepsychiatry practice that allows patients to access high-quality psychiatric and therapeutic care from home, without referrals, and with most insurance plans accepted. Appointments are typically 60 minutes, with some 30-minute visits available based on clinical need.
We are hiring a Clinical Therapist to provide thoughtful, evidence-based therapy to patients of all ages while helping expand access to care in underserved regions—without sacrificing clinical quality or clinician wellbeing.
