Family Psychiatry Practice & Associates (FPPA)

Make Psychiatry Feel Meaningful Again

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly focus on patient care and not productivity quotas, excessive administrative burden, or rushed visits, FPPA offers something different.

At Family Psychiatry Practice & Associates, we’ve intentionally built a practice that prioritizes quality over volume, autonomy over micromanagement, and support over burnout. We’re looking for a compassionate and motivated Advanced Practice Provider (APP) who wants to grow within a collaborative, thoughtful, and patient-centered environment.

About Us

FPPA is a small, locally owned psychiatric practice serving children, adolescents, and adults. We are deeply committed to individualized care, strong therapeutic relationships, and a supportive team culture.

As a fee-for-service clinic with a consistent and established patient base, we do not participate directly with private or government insurance programs. This allows our clinicians to focus on what’s best for each patient often leading to more meaningful care and outcomes.

Our clinical team is led by our Medical Director, Dr. Tian Duke-Sui, MD, a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist, and includes a Physician Assistant, John Kwon, PA-C who provides care to children, adolescents, and adults; a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Lee Davis LCMHC-CRC, who specializes in delivering therapeutic services to children, adolescents and adults; a Psychology Intern, Daniel Montenegro, who conducts in-house ASD, psychoeducational evaluations, play therapy and more; a Registered Nurse, Alissa Duke-Sui RN, with specialized experience in both critical care and psychiatry; as well as two full-time and two part-time Medical Coordinators who support the overall function and efficiency of the practice. 

Our Approach to Care

We take a well-rounded, evidence-based approach to treatment, incorporating modalities such as ACT, CBT, DBT, and person-centered care. Prior experience is welcome but not required. FPPA prioritizes curiosity, openness, and a willingness to learn, and we actively support ongoing professional development.

A Truly Supportive Environment

• Experienced, stable front desk team with low turnover
• Strong administrative support for scheduling and coordination
