📍 Remote | Active Maryland PMHNP License Required
Backpack Healthcare is growing our Maryland clinical team! We're looking for a compassionate, clinically strong PMHNP who wants the flexibility of part-time telehealth practice without giving up the collaboration and support that make great clinical care possible.
Backpack Healthcare provides accessible mental health care to children, teens, and young adults through telehealth. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and our PMHNPs don't work in isolation.
You'll be part of an integrated care team alongside therapists, psychiatrists, and care coordinators, all working together to support the same child and family.
Whether you're supplementing an existing role, balancing family commitments, or expanding your telehealth practice, this role is designed to give you flexibility while keeping the clinical work meaningful.
We believe clinicians should be rewarded for the important work they do.
Our PMHNP compensation includes:
Build a schedule that works for your life while creating meaningful earning opportunities and making a difference for kids and families.
You'll provide comprehensive psychiatric care to children, teens, and young adults through telehealth, with a focus on evidence-based, family-centered treatment.
Afternoon, evening, and weekend availability is required—that's when families are most available for care.
🩺 Conducting comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and developing diagnostic formulations
📝 Creating individualized treatment plans in partnership with patients and families
💊 Prescribing and managing psychotropic medications while monitoring effectiveness, safety, and clinical progress

We're seeking a PMHNP who has:
✔️ An active, unrestricted Maryland PMHNP license
Multi-state or compact licensure preferred
✔️ PMHNP-BC board certification
✔️ An active DEA license
✔️ A master's or doctoral degree from an accredited PMHNP program
✔️ Experience with—or a strong interest in—working with children, adolescents, and families
✔️ Comfort working independently in a telehealth environment
✔️ Strong clinical judgment, communication skills, and genuine empathy
⭐ New graduates are welcome to apply!
Since 2020, we've served 12,000+ kids and families, and 78% of families report that their child is doing better after three months.
We built Backpack because the traditional mental healthcare model wasn't working—for kids, families, or the clinicians trying to help them.
We're creating a different kind of clinical environment: one where providers have flexibility, support, meaningful collaboration, and room to grow.
When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.
If you're a Maryland PMHNP looking for flexible part-time telehealth work, transparent per-session compensation, monthly bonus potential, and a collaborative clinical team, we'd love to hear from you.
Bring your clinical expertise. We'll bring the support, referrals, and opportunity to grow. 🎒💙
Apply today and help us build healthier futures—one child, one family, and one community at a time.
