Licensed Mental Health Therapist

Kentucky Licensed Mental Health Therapist (Part-Time) Help Expand Access to Mental Healthcare Across Kentucky

Backpack Healthcare is growing in Kentucky, and we are looking for compassionate, dedicated therapists who want to make a meaningful impact while enjoying the flexibility of working from home.

We provide high-quality virtual mental health services to children, adolescents, and young adults, making care more accessible for families across the state. As a clinician-led, minority-owned organization, we are committed to supporting both our clients and the therapists who care for them.

If you are passionate about working with youth, value work‑life balance, and want to be part of a collaborative, mission-driven team, we would love to meet you!

You will provide 15–22 telehealth sessions per week, delivering individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults throughout Kentucky.

Most clinicians see clients during weekday afternoons and evenings (2:00–9:00 PM EST), with weekend availability welcomed. You create your schedule—we provide the referrals, administrative support, billing, and credentialing.
