About the role
Licensed Mental Health Therapist — Maryland
Peak Hours | Evenings & Weekends | Fully Remote
📍 Maryland License Required | 🕒 Part-Time | 💰 Monthly Bonus Potential
🎒 Make an Impact When Families Need You Most
The hours families need care most are often the hours traditional providers aren't available. That's where you come in.
Backpack Healthcare provides accessible behavioral healthcare to children, teens, young adults, and their families — 100% online and covered by most insurance.
We're a clinician-led, minority-owned organization that believes great outcomes start with supporting great clinicians.
We're looking for Maryland-licensed therapists who are energized by evening and weekend work and want to make a meaningful impact during these high-demand peak care hours.
If you're looking for competitive pay, additional monthly bonus potential, professional growth, and a team that actually supports you, we'd love to meet you.

This role is designed specifically around our highest-demand hours:
Weekdays: 3:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Weekends: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Part-time schedule with peak-hour availability required.
These are the hours when kids are home from school, parents are available, and families are often most ready to engage in care.
Your availability can help a family get the support they need when they actually need it.
