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.
