Veterans face unique difficulties when returning home and transitioning back to civilian life, and our psychiatrists<\/a> expertly tailor treatment plans that empower Veterans to take charge of their wellbeing and pursue fuller lives.<\/p>\n

This approach allows our Veterans the opportunity to take an active role in their mental health<\/a> care. We want our Veterans to be part of their own treatment team, working with their psychiatrists to set recovery goals, develop treatment plans, establish benchmarks and monitor progress.<\/p>\n

Working at VA will provide you with the ability to practice anywhere within our nationwide system of over 1,300 facilities with one active license\u2014a unique benefit you won\u2019t find anywhere else. VA also offers a low doctor\/patient ratio that ensures Veterans get the best of their mental health provider with each visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking for VA means you\u2019ll be treating our nation\u2019s heroes,\u201d said Samuel Wright, a national health care recruitment consultant at VA. \u201cYou\u2019ll be caring for those who have served our nation in wartime and peacetime. What greater satisfaction can you get?\u201d<\/p>\n

Work at VA<\/h3>\n

Mental health care is an important factor in achieving whole health, and our psychiatrists work to help Veterans meet those milestones every day. Learn how you can join a team dedicated to serving those who have served and get the most from your job at VA Careers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
