Psychiatrist

Alright, let's talk about this psychiatrist role in Chicago, IL. I've been placing clinicians for over a decade, and what LifeStance is offering here is pretty straightforward. They're a large national provider, and they need an adult psychiatrist to join their team. No fluff, just the details you'd want if you were considering it.

The Role

You'd be doing 100% outpatient work. That means no hospital rounding or on call duties. Your schedule is flexible; you can mix telemedicine and in person appointments based on what works for you and your patients. The clinical work is the core of it: providing psychiatric evaluations and ongoing care. You can structure your practice to include medication management, psychotherapy, or a blend of both.

They handle the rest. You'll get full administrative support, work in modern offices with updated tech, and have a dedicated team to manage the paperwork and logistics so you can focus on patients.

What You Need to Bring

• You must be fully licensed to practice medicine in at least one US state.
• Board certified or board eligible in psychiatry.
• An active, unencumbered DEA license.

The Money & Benefits

The compensation structure is clear. For a full time position, your base income range is $360,000 to $400,000 annually. But that's just the start; it's uncapped.

• There's a sign on bonus when you start.
• You earn additional income through their Quality Incentive Plan.
• If you choose to collaborate with and supervise mid level providers (like nurse practitioners), that comes with extra compensation too.
• The benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; and a 401(k) plan with a company match.
• You also get paid parental leave and access to an employee assistance program (EAP).

The Environment & The Company

LifeStance has grown fast since 2017; they're up to nearly 8,000 clinicians now. The goal here is collaborative care without the typical corporate grind. They emphasize flexibility and a realistic work/life balance. You're joining a sizable group practice, not going it alone in a solo office. It's designed to let you practice psychiatry without getting bogged down by the business side of things.
