Psychiatrists Only

What Psychiatrists Only does

Psychiatrists Only, LLC is a private healthcare staffing firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that operates a specialty job board and recruitment platform exclusively for the psychiatric profession. The company matches qualified psychiatrists with healthcare facilities seeking both locum tenens (temporary) and permanent placements across inpatient, outpatient, ER consult, correctional, and subspecialty settings throughout the United States. Its technology stack centers on an electronic database that the company describes as one of the nation's largest current repositories of pre-screened psychiatrists, with verification performed against the AMA, the National Practitioner Databank, and state licensure boards. Supporting platform components include a web-based Job Search Portal, a Physician Registration Platform for credential submission and practice preference capture, and a Healthcare Facility Job Submission form for staffing requests.

The business operates on a two-sided model: psychiatrists receive placement services free of charge (including credentialing, paperwork, and state medical licensure assistance), while healthcare facilities pay transaction-based placement fees only after a satisfactory match is secured. A 2-business-day satisfaction guarantee further reduces facility-side risk by capping fees to travel, lodging, and rental car costs if clinical expectations are not met. Distribution relies on professional recruiters, a toll-free phone inside-sales channel, the psyonly.com website, downloadable PDF brochures, and a Facebook community group. The company is an affiliate of D&Y (Dystaffing), a national healthcare staffing market leader founded in 1989, and is an active member of NAPR and NALTO industry associations.

Customer concentration is structurally low given the long-tail, transaction-based model with no named anchor clients and nationwide geographic reach across nearly every US state. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, suggesting a lean operating model; no public revenue, funding, or growth-rate figures are disclosed, and the firm carries no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, app presence, or recent strategic transactions beyond its longstanding D&Y affiliation and incremental platform development.
