ABOUT US
Being Health is building the future of mental healthcare: personalized, integrated, and designed around the whole human.
We are a psychiatrist-led mental health practice bringing together exceptional clinicians across psychiatry, psychotherapy, functional medicine, advanced diagnostics, nutrition, acupuncture, and innovative treatments like SPRAVATO® (esketamine) to deliver comprehensive care tailored to each individual. Our model is built around a simple belief: people are complex, and their care should be too.
We offer virtual care and in-person treatment at our thoughtfully designed clinic in New York City’s Financial District, and are expanding to new locations. Join our team of passionate clinicians and builders working to raise the standard of mental healthcare through evidence-based, collaborative, and deeply human care.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Being Health is seeking a compassionate, patient-centered Functional Medicine Physician (MD/DO) to join our integrative, psychiatrist-led practice. In this role, you’ll practice within the Psychiatry+ program, our whole-person model of mental healthcare that brings together psychiatry, advanced diagnostics, functional medicine, and nutrition into one integrated care plan for each patient.
Your work is grounded in the understanding that mind and body are deeply interconnected, each shaping the other. You’ll interpret advanced diagnostic and lab results to uncover the physiological factors that may be influencing a patient’s wellbeing. You’ll then collaborate with our psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and nutritionists to shape a treatment plan that cares for the whole person, grounded in both evidence and the individual in front of you. It’s a rare opportunity to practice functional medicine as an integral part of psychiatric care, not as an add-on to it.
The ideal candidate brings clinical excellence, a deep commitment to integrative and functional medicine, and a passion for mental health care. You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape a growing practice as one of its early clinicians. This is a flexible, part-time role (4 hours per week to start), remote or hybrid, with the opportunity to grow as your caseload builds.
You will:
- Provide direct patient care as a functional medicine expert as part of Being Health’s comprehensive approach to providing care in a modern mental health practice
- Conduct laboratory interpretation visits, comprehensive evaluations and follow-up care in line with a functional medicine approach via the Being Health telehealth platform or in-person according to your preference.
- Develop and implement customized treatment protocols that may include lifestyle changes, nutrition adaptations, supplements, pharmacological therapies, and more in conjunction with the integrated care team at Being Health.
- Initiate referrals to specialists when indicated or to providers within the Being Health system of care
- Interpret laboratory tests and diagnostic assessments to evaluate the patient’s overall health status and identify potential deficiencies, imbalances, or dysfunctions
- Work collaborative and closely with team members (nutritionists, behavioral health providers, care advocates, etc) to optimize the patient experience and to provide coordinated and high quality care for patients
- Provide ongoing support, guidance, and education to patients to help them achieve their health objectives
- Follow Being Health’s organizational policies, procedures, and protocols
- Provide continuous feedback to the Medical Director and Operations Director on ways to improve patient flow, patient care, EHR documentation, diagnostic testing options, and therapeutic interventions
- Help contribute to the development of content on the intersection between functional medicine, mental health and overall wellbeing in conjunction with the clinical team, Medical Director and Chief Medical Officer on an as needed basis
- Participate in professional training programs as deemed necessary by Medical Leadership
Requirements
- Minimum of 5 years of clinical experience, preferably in primary care or an outpatient setting, with at least 2 years of experience incorporating Functional Medicine and/or Integrative Medicine into clinical practice within scope of licensure and training.
- Active medical (MD/DO) license to practice in the state of New York
- Completion of a fellowship or advanced training program in Integrative Medicine, such as the University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine Fellowship preferred.
- Advanced training in Functional Medicine principles, comprehensive clinical assessment, and evidence-informed integrative therapies. Preferred qualifications include certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), completion of Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP), or completion of the IFM Certification Program (IFMCP)
- BLS Certification
- DEA license
- Excellent analytical, diagnostic, and clinical decision-making skills, with the ability to integrate conventional medical approaches with evidence-informed functional and integrative strategies.
- Ability to work effectively with a multidisciplinary team, including clinicians, caregivers, and other relevant stakeholders, to support coordinated, patient-centered care
- Comfortable partnering across disciplines to develop coordinated, individualized treatment approaches that address the interconnectedness of physical and mental health.
- Passionate about health and wellness at the intersection of mental health with a dose of compassion and empathy
- Tech-savvy and feel comfortable seeing patients via telemedicine or in-person at the center.
