🧠 Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) — Part-Time, Autonomous Practice

**Remote · Virginia License Required · Independent Practice**

Make an Impact. Practice Autonomously. Be Part of Something Bigger.

Backpack Healthcare is looking for a **Virginia-licensed PMHNP** who values clinical autonomy, meaningful work, and genuine collaboration.

• **PTO** based on employment status

• **Collaborative interdisciplinary care team**
• **100% telehealth:** Provide care from wherever you do your best work

💰 Compensation

Our PMHNP compensation model is designed to provide competitive per-session earnings while giving you the flexibility of part-time telehealth practice.

**Current session rates:**

• **$100 per completed psychiatric intake**
• **$40 per completed follow-up session**

Here, clinicians have the opportunity to **practice independently, collaborate meaningfully, and make a measurable difference in the lives of young people.**

**When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not just a tagline. It's how we build.**
