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.
