Since 2020, we've served 12,000+ kids and families, and 78% of families report that their child is doing better after three months.

We built Backpack because the traditional mental healthcare model wasn't working—for kids, families, or the clinicians trying to help them.

We're creating a different kind of clinical environment: one where providers have flexibility, support, meaningful collaboration, and room to grow.

If you're an Illinois PMHNP looking for flexible part-time telehealth work, transparent per-session compensation, monthly bonus potential, and a collaborative clinical team, we'd love to hear from you.

Backpack Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity in age, background, identity, and experience—and we mean it.
