Job Description
Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Nationwide Interest Pool
Remote · Open to All U.S. States
We have plans of expanding nationwide. If we're not in your state yet, we want to know you.
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 we're growing fast. We currently operate in Illinois, Maryland, Virginia, Arizona, and Georgia — and we're actively building toward a nationwide footprint.
If you're a licensed therapist who believes in accessible, culturally responsive care for kids and families, we want to hear from you now — before we get to your state.

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 of care. We started because finding quality, affordable mental health care for kids was too hard — and we're building something to change that, one state at a time.
When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.
Apply today and we'll be in touch when we're in your state.
