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 believe the quality of care kids receive is directly tied to how well we support the people delivering it.
If you're a licensed therapist who wants a full-time caseload, real career growth, and a team that actually shows up for you — keep reading.
What this role looks like
You'll carry a caseload of 25–36 sessions per week, providing individual, family, and group therapy via telehealth. Most of our clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings (2–9 PM), with weekend availability a plus. Strong referral flow means consistent income from the start.
Day-to-day you'll:
Conduct intakes and build client-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
Collaborate with our interdisciplinary team — therapists, PMHNPs, and psychiatrists working together
Maintain timely documentation in our EHR
Support families with education and care coordination, not just the child in the room
What we offer
$65/billable hour — LCSW-C, LCPC, or LMFT (independently licensed)
$45/billable hour — LMSW or LGPC (supervision provided; limited openings)
Medical, dental, and vision
401(k) with 3% company match
PTO
$300 annual CEU reimbursement
Free clinical supervision for eligible licenses via our residency prorgram
$25,000 company-paid life insurance
Administrative support from our experienced Care Coordinators so you can focus on delivering care
Pathways into clinical leadership, including our Residency & Fellowship Program
What we're looking for
Master’s Degree or higher from an accredited school of Social Work, Psychology, Counseling or Marriage, or Family and Child Counseling.
Active Maryland license: LGPC, LCPC, LMSW, LMFT or LCSW-C
Experience with children, teens, and families
Comfortable working independently in a remote setting
Strong technological skills and learning new systems, including Zoom, GSuite (Google Calendar, Gmail, etc.), electronic health record systems, and other collaboration tools
Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly preferred
Committed to trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice
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're building something real in Maryland, and we want clinicians who want to grow with us — into supervision, leadership, and mentorship roles as we scale.
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.
