    How much does a PMHNP earn in Texas?

    PMHNP roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $125k – $175k, typically $125k entry, $145k mid-career and $175k at senior or supervisory level. In Texas, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. The fastest-growing ABA market we recruit in. Center expansion across Houston, DFW and Austin has outrun local BCBA supply, and relocation packages are now routine.

    What changes a PMHNP offer in Texas

    • LPC, LCSW and LMFT are licensed separately, with LPC-Associate the standard pre-licensure route.
    • Setting: Outpatient psychiatry, Telepsychiatry, Community mental health price differently for the same credential.
    • Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
    • Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
    • Scarcity: 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.

    Why we do not publish a TX average

    We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Texas average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
