Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist

Urgent Care / Behavioral Health Clinic
Northwell Health – Mt. Kisco, NY

Northwell Health’s Department of Behavioral Health is seeking a Board Certified/Board Eligible Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to join our Behavioral Health team at Westchester. We are recruiting for two highly motivated Practitioners who will lead our Child & Adolescent Practice and our Behavioral Health Center.  

This is a truly unique opportunity as Northwell Health is launching a comprehensive behavioral health program to expand access to care for children and adolescents that will be spearheaded by Northwell’s Northern Westchester Hospital (NWH). The initiative includes partnerships with local community organizations and schools, a new behavioral health center, a psychiatric outpatient practice, patient navigation and ultimately, intensive outpatient services. Northwell has a similar program in other regions of downstate New York that has helped reduce emergency room visits related to child and adolescent behavioral health by an average of 60%.

By the summer of 2025, a stand-alone behavioral health center will open to provide rapid access to care for children and adolescents in crisis. The final phase will introduce an intensive outpatient program to support young people in need of a higher level of care than an outpatient practice but who do not require hospitalization.

Northwell has committed to investing $500 million over the next several years to expand pediatric and adolescent behavioral health services across its network, including the construction of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Pavilion connected to both Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Zucker Hillside Hospital, the health system’s behavioral health facility.  Come be part of our expanding network!

Benefits at Northwell Health include:

• Nationally competitive salaries
• Comprehensive benefits package
• Four weeks’ vacation plus paid conference/CME time
• Academic appointment in the Department of Psychiatry at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell
• Advanced education opportunities
• College Tuition reimbursement for dependent children
