[Hiring] Part-Time PMHNP @Backpack Healthcare

Role Description

We're looking for a part-time PMHNP in Virginia who can practice autonomously and wants to do it within a team that actually collaborates.

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

Qualifications

• Active, unrestricted Virginia PMHNP license (multi-state or compact preferred)
• Ability to practice independently without an MD collaboration agreement — required
• 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

Benefits

• 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
