About this role

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) — Part-Time
Remote · Active Maryland PMHNP License Required

We're looking for a part-time PMHNP who wants real clinical collaboration and a schedule that actually fits their life.

Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and our PMHNPs don't work in isolation. You'll be embedded in an integrated care team alongside therapists, psychiatrists, and care coordinators — all working toward the same kid.

Whether you're supplementing an existing role, balancing family commitments, or transitioning into telehealth — this role is built around flexibility without sacrificing the clinical depth that makes the work meaningful.

What this role looks like

You'll carry a part-time caseload providing comprehensive psychiatric care to children, teens, and young adults via telehealth. Afternoon, evening, and weekend availability is required — that's when families can actually show up.

Day-to-day you'll:

  • Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and formulate evidence-based diagnoses
  • Develop individualized treatment plans in partnership with patients and their families
  • Prescribe and manage psychotropic medications, monitor effectiveness, and adjust as needed
  • Provide brief supportive interventions and psychoeducation alongside medication management
  • Collaborate with therapists, psychiatrists, and care coordinators in regular case reviews
  • Maintain accurate, timely documentation in our EHR
  • Educate families about diagnoses, treatment options, and what to expect

What we offer

  • Competitive fee-for-service per-session pay
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Medical, dental, and vision (for eligible team members)
  • PTO based on employment status
  • CEU reimbursement
  • Clinical mentorship and case consultation — new graduates are welcome
  • A collaborative team that treats integrated care as the standard, not the exception

What we're looking for

  • Active, unrestricted Maryland PMHNP license (multi-state or compact preferred)
  • PMHNP-BC board certification
  • Active DEA license
  • Master's or doctoral degree from an accredited PMHNP program
  • Experience with or strong interest in working with youth and families
  • Comfortable working independently in a telehealth environment
  • Strong clinical judgment, clear communication, and genuine empathy

Who we are

We've served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. We built Backpack because the old model wasn't working — for kids or for the clinicians trying to help them.

When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.

Backpack Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity in age, background, identity, and experience — and we mean it.
