Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner - Michigan
About the role
Backpack Healthcare is growing our Michigan clinical team and looking for a compassionate, clinically strong PMHNP who wants the flexibility of part-time telehealth practice without giving up collaboration and support. You'll be part of an integrated care team alongside therapists, psychiatrists, and care coordinators, all working together to support the same child and family. This role is designed to give you flexibility while keeping the clinical work meaningful.
What You'll Do
You'll provide comprehensive psychiatric care to children, teens, and young adults through telehealth, with a focus on evidence-based, family-centered treatment. Afternoon, evening, and weekend availability is required—that's when families are most available for care.

Why Backpack Healthcare?
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. When clinicians thrive, kids thrive.
