At Backpack Healthcare
, we believe clinicians deserve meaningful work that fits their lives.

We’re seeking a part-time PMHNP who wants flexibility, strong clinical collaboration, and the opportunity to make a measurable difference in the lives of children, teens, and young adults — all through a fully remote model.

Whether you’re:

• Supplementing an existing role
• Seeking additional income
• Balancing family or personal commitments
• Transitioning into telehealth

This opportunity allows you to build a consistent caseload without the demands of a full‑time schedule.

Deliver high‑quality psychiatric care from home with full operational and clinical support.

Build a consistent part‑time schedule around afternoons, evenings, and/or weekends — when families need support most.

Partner closely with therapists, psychiatrists, and care coordinators in an integrated behavioral health setting.

Mentorship available (new graduates welcome)

Ongoing clinical consultation and team case reviews

We are building a mental health system that honors both the provider and the patient — sustainable, compassionate, and innovative.

Treatment Planning & Medication Management

• Monitor effectiveness and adjust treatment as needed
• Provide brief supportive therapy and psychoeducation

Integrated Care Collaboration

Documentation & Compliance

• Master’s or Doctoral degree from an accredited PMHNP program
• Board Certification (PMHNP‑BC)
• Experience with or passion for working with youth and families
