Location: Naperville, IL (Hybrid or In-Person)

Practice: Tailwinds Psychology, LLC

Base Annual Earnings Range: $120,000-$150,000

About Us

Our client Tailwinds Psychology LLC is a growing private group psychology practice serving individuals and families throughout the western suburbs of Chicago. Their mission is to provide responsive, high-quality, and evidence-based psychological care with a team-oriented and values-driven approach. They are seeking a dedicated and compassionate psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to join their team and grow with them.

Position Summary

We are currently hiring full-time PMHNPs to provide psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management services for clients across the lifespan. The PMHNP will work in close collaboration with our therapy and testing teams, ensuring clients receive coordinated and compassionate care.

This is a clinical role with strong administrative and billing support. Clinicians manage their own caseloads with full administrative support, including scheduling, billing, credentialing, AI-enabled automated documentation (with client consent), and marketing, so clinicians can focus on client care.

Compensation

At Tailwinds, we believe every full-time PMHNP deserves to earn at least six figures (plus benefits) on an annual basis. Compensation is based on tenure with the practice, and is calculated per billable clinical hour (i.e., hours billed to the client or insurance). Full-time PMHNPs are expected to maintain an average caseload of 30 clients per week and are eligible for benefits.

Compensation Structure

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners:

• Year 1: 55% of revenue billed per billable hour
• Year 2: 60%
• Year 4+: 65%

Base earnings range reflects good-faith estimate of gross annual earnings for a Year 1 clinician with an average caseload of at least 30 clients/week.

Hiring Bonus

At Tailwinds, we respect and defend the legal right of clients to choose their mental healthcare provider, including the decision to follow their PMHNP to a new practice. All new clinical hires who bring a caseload with them are eligible to receive a one-time bonus of $50 per established client.
