How much does a PMHNP earn in the US?

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner roles we recruit are advertised at roughly $125k – $175k: $125k at entry, $145k mid-career and $175k at senior or supervisory level. Setting, caseload size and payer mix move the figure more than years of experience do. Ranges reflect what we typically see advertised on roles we recruit for in the US. They are a market guide, not a survey, and vary by setting, caseload and experience.

Does state practice authority change the job?

Yes. Full-practice-authority states let PMHNPs work independently; reduced and restricted states require a collaborating physician agreement, which affects autonomy, caseload and sometimes pay.

What do PMHNP jobs pay, and where are they?

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) roles in the US are advertised at roughly $125k – $175k, with entry roles near $125k and senior or supervisory roles near $175k. The scarcest prescriber in behavioral health. Telepsychiatry has absorbed a large share of supply, which makes in-person and hybrid roles harder to fill than the salary alone suggests. Some PMHNP work is remote — telehealth, supervision and documentation — but assessment-heavy roles usually are not.
