Help Expand Access to Mental Healthcare Across Kentucky

Backpack Healthcare is growing in Kentucky! We're looking for compassionate, dedicated therapists who want to make a meaningful impact while enjoying the flexibility of working from home.

We provide high-quality virtual mental health services to children, adolescents, and young adults, making care more accessible to families across the state. As a clinician-led, minority-owned organization, we're committed to supporting both the families we serve and the clinicians who care for them.

If you're passionate about working with youth, value work-life balance, and want to be part of a collaborative, mission-driven team, we'd love to meet you!

What You'll Do

• You'll provide 15–22 telehealth sessions per week, delivering individual and family therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults throughout Kentucky.

• Most clinicians see clients during weekday afternoons and evenings (2:00–9:00 PM EST), with weekend availability welcomed.

• You create your schedule—we provide the referrals, administrative support, billing, and credentialing.

Your day-to-day includes:

• Conducting comprehensive behavioral health assessments

• Developing individualized, trauma-informed treatment plans

• Providing evidence-based individual and family therapy through secure telehealth

• Collaborating with our interdisciplinary care team, including therapists, PMHNPs, psychiatrists, and care coordinators

• Completing timely, accurate clinical documentation within our electronic health record (EHR)

• Supporting families through education, collaboration, and coordinated care

• Competitive Compensation + Monthly Bonus Potential

• We believe clinicians should have the opportunity to earn competitive compensation while maintaining the flexibility of part-time practice.

What You'll Earn:

• $50 per billable hour for independently licensed clinicians
• Monthly bonus potential based on eligible clinical and performance metrics
• Additional opportunities for professional growth and increased earning potential as Backpack continues to expand

Additional Benefits:

• 401(k) with 3% company match

• $150 annual CEU reimbursement

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

• 100% Remote Work

• Opportunities for clinical leadership and professional growth

• Collaborative clinical support and interdisciplinary case consultation

• What We're Looking For

We're seeking clinicians who have:

• An active Kentucky independent license (LPCC, LCSW, or LMFT)

• Experience working with children, adolescents, and families—or a passion for serving this population

• The ability to work independently in a virtual environment

• Strong clinical judgment, communication, and documentation skills

• A commitment to trauma-informed, culturally responsive care

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) clinicians are strongly encouraged to apply.

• Why Backpack Healthcare?

• Since 2020, Backpack Healthcare has helped 12,000+ children and families receive the mental healthcare they deserve.

• We're building a different kind of behavioral healthcare organization—one where clinicians can do meaningful work, maintain flexibility, collaborate with a strong clinical team, and have opportunities to grow.

• We believe that when clinicians thrive, kids thrive. It's more than a mission—it's how we deliver exceptional care every day.

• Join Our Kentucky Team

• If you're ready to make a lasting impact on the lives of Kentucky children and families while enjoying flexible remote work, competitive compensation, monthly bonus potential, and a supportive clinical team, we'd love to hear from you.

• Bring your clinical expertise. We'll bring the referrals, support, and opportunity to grow.
