About Union Square Practice

Founded in 2013, Union Square Practice (USP) is a thriving, collaborative group of psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and therapists who provide thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care grounded in genuine human connection. We offer integrated psychotherapy and medication management for adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, and emphasize a practical, warm, and down‑to‑earth approach.

Our mission is to create a supportive community where clinicians feel connected, respected, and energized. We believe that when clinicians are thriving patients receive the best care.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced

Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist

to join our collegial and supportive team in New York City.

This role is ideal for a psychiatrist who:

Has at least 5 years of post-training clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and their families

Enjoys providing both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology and psychiatric evaluations

Values collaboration with psychologists, social workers, NPs, and other psychiatrists

Is energized by working with a patient population with a clinical predominance of anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, school/peer stress, and family/relationship challenges

You’ll conduct comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, provide ongoing medication management, and offer individual and/or family therapy for your own panel of child and adolescent patients. It is possible to see adult patients as well but the expectation is to see predominantly children and adolescents.

What We Offer

Our model blends the stability of employment with the autonomy of private practice. You’ll have a high degree of control over how you structure your work, with robust infrastructure to support you.

You can expect:

Full administrative support, including scheduling, billing, prescription refills, and coordination with families and outside providers

A mix of psychopharmacology and psychotherapy, tailored to your interests and expertise

Weekly case conferences and ongoing trainings, with a strong culture of consultation and learning across disciplines

Collaboration with senior clinicians in psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, and child/adolescent psychiatry

A collegial, down‑to‑earth team environment that values warmth, humor, and practicality in clinical work

Flexibility to shape your clinical niche (e.g., anxiety, ADHD, school avoidance, OCD, performance concerns) while maintaining a broad child & adolescent practice

Competitive compensation and benefits, with earning potential aligned with experience, caseload, and services provided

Practice Model

Primarily in-person at our New York City office (typically 3–4 days per week on-site), with telehealth as a component

Comprehensive evaluations (60–90 minutes) for children and adolescents, with time built in for collateral contact with parents, schools, and other providers

Ongoing treatment that may include: Medication management

Individual therapy

Parent guidance and family sessions

Opportunity to collaborate closely with psychologists and therapists providing therapy to your patients, or to serve as both therapist and prescriber when clinically appropriate

Ability to set your own schedule and vacations, within reasonable practice needs

Minimum Qualifications

MD or DO with Board Certification or Eligibility in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Active New York State medical license (or eligibility to obtain one in a timely manner)

Current DEA registration and authorization to prescribe in New York State

Minimum of 5 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and their families (post-residency/fellowship)

Demonstrated experience with both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology for child and adolescent populations

Comfort working within a collaborative, multidisciplinary group practice

Commitment to evidence-based care, ongoing learning, and a practical, human, and warm therapeutic style

Compensation is a competitive percentage of gross clinical income, aligned with experience, caseload, and services provided, with strong earning potential.

We also offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Continuing education (CME) reimbursement
