You did not come this far to navigate it alone.
PMHNP LiftOff is a structured mentorship community built for new graduate and novice PMHNPs who deserve more than being left to figure it out on their own.
What is the program?
The transition from PMHNP student to practicing clinician is one of the hardest seasons of this career. The complexity of real patients. The weight of independent clinical decisions. The isolation of navigating it all without adequate support around you.
PMHNP LiftOff was built specifically for this season. It is an ongoing membership community for new graduate and novice PMHNPs with 0–2 years of experience — designed to bridge the gap between school and practice with structured mentorship, clinical education, and a community of PMHNPs who understand exactly where you are.
What’s Included:
Bi-weekly mentor sessions (Monday evenings) for case consultation and career guidance
Direct access to Two dedicated mentors with over 25 years of combined mental health experience
Expert guest speakers sharing specialized knowledge
Private discussion board for questions that come up between live sessions
45+ hours of on-demand trainings covering clinical reasoning, practical treatment decision making, real-world assessment approaches and the essentials for the PMHNP job search
Extensive resource library & directory to support your practice
✨ With new content added quarterly
When you join our mentorship program, you’ll gain:
Sharper assessment skills
Learn the questions that help you understand a patient’s symptom timeline and lived experience so you can assess with more precision and solidify a diagnosis. Develop skills to differentiate symptoms and diagnoses that can present similarly.Clinical decisions you can stand behind
Learn what to consider when two or more medications could be a good fit, and what to assess before adjuncting or switching. Build the skill of weighing a piece of evidence against the patient in front of you, so you know when a recommendation applies and when it does not.Communication skills for uncertain moments
Learn how to communicate when you are faced with uncertainty, mismatched patient expectations, or pressure from inside or outside the room.Documentation that protects you and your patient
Learn best practices for documenting in a way that supports quality care and protects both the clinician and the patient.Tools you can use in your next appointment
Access structured interview templates, considerations for assessing psychotropic side effects, and first, second, and third line plus adjunct options for different diagnoses. Career tools are included too, from what to consider when negotiating an offer to how to prepare for job interviews.Mentors who have been where you are
Hear first hand from PMHNPs who are where you are, or have been there, about real world patient care, the strategies that helped them succeed, and what they learned the hard way.A space for the cases that keep you up at night
Bring the cases that stay with you, the moments that made you doubt yourself, and the encounters you are still thinking about days or weeks later.Guidance for your next career step
Get practical perspective as you consider private practice, a new role, or a move to a different psychiatric specialty or setting.PMHNPs who get it because they are living it too
Join a private community of new and novice PMHNPs in the same season of their career, learning and growing together.Become the provider your patients and colleagues trust
Not just a PMHNP who made it through the first year, but a clinician who is grounded, well resourced, and proud of the care they provide.
How does the program help?
Most new PMHNPs are told to just figure it out. They inherit complex caseloads, navigate polypharmacy, manage dual diagnoses, and make high-stakes clinical decisions — often without adequate guidance or support around them.
That is not a capability problem. That is a support problem.
PMHNP LiftOff gives you what most early practice environments don't — a consistent, structured space where your development is taken seriously. Where questions are welcomed. Where the challenges of this season are met with experienced insight, clinical education, and a community that is invested in your growth.
The PMHNPs thriving in their early careers are not thriving because they figured it all out alone. They are thriving because they found the right support early and let it build them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the LIVE sessions be recorded? Yes. All live mentor sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the private community membership site within 24 hours of session ending. Some expert guest presentations cannot be recorded as per the rules of their organization, there will be an announcement in the community if an upcoming guest presentation WILL NOT be recorded.
What is the refund/cancellation policy? All sales are final. We encourage you to review the program details thoroughly and reach out with any questions before joining.
How long is the program? You get to choose how long. The recommendation is at least 6 months for the most optimal experience and benefits of the program, community and offerings.
Who is this program for? New grad and novice PMHNPs:
With 0-2 years experience
With limited guidance in their current work environment
Open to being in a supportive environment with other PMHNPs and supporting other members of the group
Looking for clinical consultation and further education to complement their PMHNP program
What happens in a mentor session? Great question! Mentor sessions are 90-minute open forum sessions held on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 7:30 to 9:00 pm EST, with an additional live session once a month on a floating Tuesday.
These sessions are where the real work happens. Members bring complex cases, career questions, professional practice concerns, or anything else on their mind related to their PMHNP journey. There is no set agenda — just an open, supportive space where you can show up with whatever you are navigating and leave with more clarity than you came in with. No question is too small and nothing is off limits.
Are there CEUs offered for the mentorship? There are no CEUs offered for this program.
What is the time commitment to get the most from this experience? It is recommended that you have at least 4-6 hours per month to dedicate to this program to benefit from mentor sessions and the numerous resources available to you.
How can I get the most from this mentorship experience? Show up to the live sessions as they are the heartbeat of this community and where the most growth happens. In between sessions, use the on-demand video lessons on your own time — whether that is a commute, a workout, or a quiet Tuesday evening. Download the cheat sheets and templates even before you need them, and have them ready to use with patients. And when something is sitting heavy after a hard week — a case that stayed with you, a decision you questioned twice or something you want another opinion on — take it to the discussion board.
What is a typical response time to questions posted to the discussion board?
During weekdays (Monday 8:00 AM EST to Friday 4:00 PM EST), responses are typically provided within 3 to 18 hours. On weekends (Friday after 4:00 PM EST to Monday 8:00 AM EST), responses may take 24 to 48 hours.
The discussion board is a space for thoughtful consultation and community support, not for urgent or emergency questions.

Interviewing guide for evaluations and follow-ups
