A national shortage of psychiatrists and the ongoing need for access to mental health services in rural and underserved areas are key drivers of the telepsychiatry clinician employment market. The telepsychiatry job market is projected to reach approximately $76.86 billion by 2034, with the telepsychiatry services market expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.24% from 2026 through 2034.

The telehealth industry is experiencing exponential growth each year, creating new and exciting opportunities for clinicians seeking to advance their careers in virtual behavioral health. FasPsych is working to create a supportive environment where clinicians can thrive in this rapidly expanding field. Many patients face significant barriers to accessing mental health care, resulting in a large number going untreated. Telehealth services like FasPsych help overcome these barriers by providing virtual care to patients who might not otherwise have access to essential mental health services, particularly in underserved and rural communities.

Our team is composed of board-certified psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and advanced practice providers who are passionate about making a difference in mental health.

Through our innovative virtual care platform, we are committed to expanding access to behavioral health services, ensuring that patients receive compassionate, patient-centered care wherever they are.

The Appeal of Flexibility: Tailoring Your Schedule to Fit Your Life

In an era where mental health demands are skyrocketing and clinician burnout remains a pressing concern, telepsychiatry has emerged as a beacon of flexibility and innovation. At FasPsych, we’re proud to empower psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other mental health professionals with opportunities that prioritize their well-being while delivering high-quality care. We are seeking dedicated professionals with experience in telepsychiatry or behavioral health—skilled, compassionate clinicians who value autonomy, adaptability, and a commitment to providing excellent care in a remote environment.

FasPsych’s telepsychiatry model offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing clinicians to work remotely and customize their schedules—key advantages that align with MGMA insights on improving provider satisfaction and retention in a high-demand field like psychiatry. Unlike traditional roles with fixed hours and on-site requirements, our virtual platform enables providers to deliver care from anywhere in the U.S., reducing burnout and enhancing work-life balance.

Here are some key benefits highlighted by our approach:

• Customizable Scheduling: Choose PRN, part-time, or full-time roles, scaling hours to match personal needs—ideal for those balancing family, education, or other commitments. Most telehealth roles offer flexible part-time or full-time schedules, especially with recent changes to Medicare telehealth waivers.

• Diverse Practice Settings: Integrate seamlessly with clinics, hospitals, FQHCs, correctional facilities, and more, all via HIPAA-compliant video technology, expanding your impact without relocation. Telepsychiatry job opportunities also include roles within telehealth platforms, hospitals, academic centers, and community mental health centers.

• Productivity Alignment with MGMA Benchmarks: MGMA’s 2025 Provider Compensation and Productivity Data Report notes median wRVUs for psychiatrists around 4,500 annually. FasPsych’s efficient virtual model often allows providers to meet or exceed these metrics with fewer administrative hurdles, such as no commuting, leading to higher encounters per day and better overall efficiency.

This flexibility not only boosts job satisfaction—as evidenced by our 3.8/5 star ratings on platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed, where providers praise the “good culture” and supportive management—but also positions FasPsych ahead of traditional models in adapting to MGMA-tracked trends in telehealth adoption

Clinician Roles and Responsibilities

At FasPsych, our clinicians are essential to our mission of providing outstanding patient care. As part of our telepsychiatry team, clinicians are responsible for conducting thorough assessments, diagnosing mental health conditions, and developing individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. Inpatient experience is a valuable qualification, particularly for psychiatric nurse practitioners working in inpatient mental health settings, as it supports the delivery of comprehensive psychiatric care. Knowledge and management of psychiatric medications is also a core clinical skill, enabling clinicians to prescribe and manage medications effectively in a psychiatric setting. Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, they ensure that every patient receives high-quality care and ongoing support throughout their treatment journey. Our clinicians are encouraged to participate in continuing education and professional development, staying current with advancements in psychiatry and telemedicine. With flexible scheduling options, clinicians can practice medicine on their own schedule, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and focus on delivering great care to their patients. Nurse practitioners must be board certified by ANCC or AANP and have at least two years of practice post-certification.

Competitive Compensation: Benchmarking Success with Industry Standards

At FasPsych, we prioritize fair and competitive pay; our per-visit, hourly, or on call structures allow clinicians to achieve strong earnings without the overhead of in-person practices. Compensation for remote, full-time telepsychiatry positions can range from $212,000 to over $800,000 annually, depending on the employer, while Mental Health Clinicians’ salaries typically range between $55,000 and $104,000 annually, depending on experience and caseload. Malpractice insurance is included as part of the benefits package, ensuring professional liability coverage and peace of mind for our clinicians.

Key comparisons to MGMA benchmarks include:

• FasPsych’s flexible contracts enable providers to reach or surpass these figures, often with added bonuses for high-volume virtual work.

• With no need for physical office space and scalable assignments, providers benefit from MGMA-aligned fair market value, plus perks like reliable payments, dental insurance as part of a comprehensive benefits package, and support for multi-state licensing to expand earning potential.

Industry comparisons show that Wheel hires a variety of clinicians, including physicians and nurse practitioners, for telehealth roles. LifeStance offers telehealth psychiatry jobs and remote corporate positions, while Talkiatry is interviewing Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners to expand access to behavioral health care.

Providers appreciate this structure, as seen in reviews calling FasPsych the “best company I have ever worked for” due to its emphasis on professional growth and stability.
