Why This Role Exists

Frontier Psychiatry was founded by Montana psychiatrists who saw their neighbors waiting months—or driving hours—for specialized mental health care.

To meet the needs of the rural communities we call home, we built Frontier—a secure telepsychiatry practice that allows patients to access high-quality psychiatric and therapeutic care from home, without referrals, and with most insurance plans accepted. Appointments are typically 60 minutes, with some 30-minute visits available based on clinical need.

We are hiring a Clinical Therapist physically located in Alaska to provide thoughtful, evidence-based therapy to patients of all ages while helping expand access to care across Alaska’s diverse and underserved communities. This role combines direct clinical care with intentional community engagement to ensure services are culturally responsive, trusted, and locally connected.

• Provide crisis assessment, safety planning, and coordinated follow-up when clinically indicated
