📍 Remote | Maryland License Required | Full-Time

💜 Build a career while making a difference in the lives of kids and families.

At Backpack Healthcare, we believe great clinical care starts with supporting the clinicians who provide it.

We provide accessible, high-quality mental health care to children, teens, and young adults — entirely online and covered by most insurance. As a clinician-led, minority-owned organization, we're building a team where therapists can do meaningful work, have a strong referral pipeline, and grow their careers alongside a mission-driven organization.

If you're a Maryland-licensed therapist looking for a full-time caseload, consistent referrals, competitive compensation, monthly bonus potential, and genuine opportunities for professional growth, we'd love to meet you.

🌟 What You'll Do

You'll manage a caseload of 25–36 sessions per week, providing individual, family, and group therapy through telehealth.

With a strong referral pipeline, you'll have the opportunity to build a consistent caseload while focusing on what you do best: providing exceptional clinical care.

Most clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings, typically 2:00–9:00 PM, with weekend availability a plus.

Your day-to-day will include:

  • 🧠 Conducting clinical intakes and assessments
  • 📝 Developing client-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
  • 💻 Providing individual, family, and group therapy via telehealth
  • 🤝 Collaborating with therapists, PMHNPs, psychiatrists, and other members of our interdisciplinary team
  • 📋 Maintaining timely, accurate clinical documentation in our EHR
  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Providing family education and care coordination
  • 💜 Building strong therapeutic relationships with children, adolescents, and their families

💰 Compensation & Benefits

We believe clinicians should be well compensated, supported, and given opportunities to grow.

  • $65/billable hour — LCSW-C, LCPC, or LMFT with independent licensure
  • $45/billable hour — LMSW or LGPC (supervision provided; limited openings)

🎯 Monthly Bonus Potential

Your earning potential doesn't stop at your billable rate.

Eligible clinicians have the opportunity to earn a monthly performance-based bonus in addition to their regular compensation. Bonus eligibility is based on applicable productivity and performance expectations, providing an additional opportunity to increase your monthly earnings while being recognized for consistently delivering high-quality care.

🔎 What We're Looking For

  • 🎓 Master’s degree or higher from an accredited program in Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, Marriage & Family Therapy, or a related behavioral health discipline

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
