About Transitions Behavioral Health
Transitions Behavioral Health is a growing psychiatric practice serving the Rio Grande Valley. Founded by Velma Henn, PMHNP-BC, we provide outpatient psychiatric care across four clinical pillars: women’s mental health and perimenopause, anxiety and depression, ADHD and life transitions, and adolescents and young adults.
We’re not a volume mill. We’re building a practice where providers have time to think, space to practice well, and systems that remove administrative burden from clinical care. Our patient demand is growing faster than our capacity — we’re hiring because our panels are full, not because we’re trying to fill chairs.
What You’ll Do
Provide outpatient psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and brief psychotherapy to adolescents and adults
Diagnose and document with ICD-10 specificity to support clinical outcomes and payer compliance
Work within a multidisciplinary team of PMHNPs and an LCSW, with internal therapy referrals readily available
Document efficiently with AI-assisted charting tools (ambient scribe rolling out Summer 2026) and athenaOne EHR
Collaborate under an established Collaborative Practice Agreement with a supervising psychiatrist
Who You Are
PMHNP-BC (board-certified)
Active Texas APRN license with prescriptive authority and DEA
Credentialed with Medicare (preferred) and/or commercial panels (BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UHC)
Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred
1+ year of independent psychiatric practice experience
Familiarity with trauma-informed care principles
Committed to evidence-based, compassionate care
What We Offer
Competitive base salary of $120,000–$135,000 depending on experience and credentialing
Performance incentives tied to productivity
4-day workweek with protected weekends
No call. No hospital rounds. No weekends.
AI-assisted documentation to reduce charting burden
Paid holidays
Lead Provider growth track for clinicians who demonstrate strong clinical performance and team leadership
Faith-friendly workplace with a mission-driven culture
Why Transitions
We built this practice to be the kind of place clinicians stay for a decade, not burn out in 18 months. You will see 12–16 patients per day — not 25. You will have clinical support. You will have an operations team that handles credentialing, scheduling, and billing so you can practice using evidence based guidelines. And you will work for a founder who has been a PMHNP herself and will never ask you to do what she wouldn’t.
To Apply
Send your CV and a brief note (3–5 sentences) about why you’re interested in outpatient psychiatric practice to velma@tbhtx.com. We’ll respond within 48 hours. First-round interviews are virtual; on-site visits follow for finalists.
