Psychiatric Consultant, Collaborative Care (CoCM)

Cabana is a behavioral health infrastructure company on a mission to eliminate the gap between self-guided wellness and clinical intervention. We combine physical Cabana Pods, a daily digital support platform (Cabana Live), and an integrated Collaborative Care (CoCM) model to deliver a zero-friction Mental Health Operating System for high-performing organizations — including health systems, military units, and employers. 

As Cabana launches its Collaborative Care (CoCM) program, we are seeking a Psychiatric Consultant to join our founding clinical team. This is not a traditional consulting role within an established system — it is an opportunity to help build and define Cabana’s psychiatric consultation model from the ground up. 

In this remote, contract-based role, you will serve as a core clinical partner supporting Behavioral Health Care Managers (BHCMs) and Primary Care Providers (PCPs) across Louisiana. You will provide evidence-based psychiatric consultation, guide measurement-based care initiatives, and help establish the workflows and clinical standards that will shape Cabana’s integrated behavioral health programs as they scale. 

This role is ideal for a psychiatrist who thrives at the intersection of clinical excellence, systems-building, and collaborative care innovation. You should be energized by helping primary care teams manage behavioral health conditions effectively while contributing to the design of a new integrated care infrastructure. 

At Cabana, we embrace the fast-paced nature of startup healthcare environments and are looking for clinicians who are adaptable, collaborative, mission-driven, and energized by solving complex problems in new ways. If you are passionate about expanding access to behavioral health through integrated, evidence-based care models, this role may be the perfect fit for you.
