Company: Skyway Behavioral Health
Job Title: Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner / Physician Assistant
Location: Skokie, IL / Downers Grove, IL
Skyway Behavioral Health is an innovative behavioral health center that goes beyond the treatment of psychiatric symptoms to address underlying biological, behavioral, and psychosocial causes of psychiatric disorders. We are committed to building a culture and team that cares for one another in such a way that we may care for our families, communities, and clients.
At Skyway, we provide a fully immersive, intensive, whole-person experience that covers everything from neuroscience to nutrition. We believe that the path to recovery from traumatic stress requires a focus that encompasses not just symptom management but also the treatment of underlying individual, systemic, developmental, and familial traumas. We use leading-edge, specialized, evidence-based treatment modalities to help our patients address the trauma and pain behind their behaviors and diagnoses – thereby empowering them to make lasting changes in their lives.
Our team has extensive clinical and leadership experience in the areas of traumatic stress, eating disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders/pathology. At Skyway, we believe that recovery is not only possible but also attainable for all patients.
Role Description
Under the supervision of the Medical Director, the Pyschiatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) / Physician Assistant (PA) provides treatment for patients with psychiatric illnesses along the lifespan in an outpatient setting.

The PNP / PA is responsible for providing treatment for patients at Skyway Behavioral Health in the partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient program.
