We're looking for a psychiatrist who wants to practice great psychiatric care — with kids, families, and young adults — without the demands of a full-time schedule.
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 psychiatrists are a core part of an integrated care team, not a separate service line. You'll work alongside PMHNPs, therapists, and care coordinators who are all focused on the same patients.
If you want meaningful part-time psychiatric work with real clinical collaboration and real flexibility — this is worth your time.
What this role looks like
You'll carry a part-time caseload of 15–22 hours per week, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment via telehealth. Afternoon and evening availability is required. Weekend hours are available based on patient demand.
Day-to-day you'll:
-
Conduct psychiatric evaluations and assessments across the lifespan
-
Diagnose and manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and more
-
Develop individualized treatment plans including medication management and therapy recommendations
-
Collaborate with therapists, PMHNPs, primary care providers, schools, and families
-
Provide crisis intervention and ongoing support as needed
-
Participate in team meetings and clinical consultations
-
Maintain accurate, timely documentation in compliance with HIPAA and Georgia regulations
-
Stay current on developments in psychiatric care and evidence-based treatment
What we offer
-
Competitive fee-for-service hourly compensation
-
Malpractice insurance coverage provided
-
CME reimbursement
-
Flexible scheduling with genuine work-life balance
-
A collaborative clinical environment where your input shapes care
What we're looking for
-
MD or DO from an accredited medical school
-
Completed psychiatry residency
-
Board certified or board eligible in psychiatry
-
Active Georgia medical license and DEA license
-
Strong communication skills and genuine comfort working with diverse patient populations
-
Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly encouraged
-
Experience in outpatient, community mental health, or integrated care settings preferred
-
Familiarity with telepsychiatry platforms and EHR systems preferred
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 fragmented, inaccessible care wasn't working — for families 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.
