Common Settings

Outpatient PMHNPs work in private practices, community mental health centers (CMHCs), group practices, university counseling centers, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), and integrated primary care clinics.

Typical Caseload

Outpatient PMHNPs typically see 12-20 patients per day for medication management (15-30 min appointments) or 6-8 patients with therapy integration (45-60 min). Panel sizes range from 300-800 active patients.
