Part-Time PMHNP -Autonomous Practice

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

Remote · Active Virginia PMHNP License Required · Independent Practice Only

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.

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 Virginia's autonomous practice environment means we're looking specifically for PMHNPs who can practice independently — no MD collaboration agreement required.

You'll still be part of an integrated care team alongside therapists, psychiatrists, and care coordinators. Autonomous doesn't mean alone. It means you bring the full scope — and we build around it.

What this role looks like

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

What we offer

• 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
