Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner-Oklahoma

About the role

Backpack Healthcare is growing our Oklahoma clinical team! We're looking for a compassionate, clinically strong PMHNP who wants the flexibility of part-time telehealth practice without giving up the collaboration and support that make great clinical care possible. Backpack Healthcare provides accessible mental health care to children, teens, and young adults through telehealth. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and our PMHNPs don't work in isolation. 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. Whether you're supplementing an existing role, balancing family commitments, or expanding your telehealth practice, this role is designed to give you flexibility while keeping the clinical work meaningful.
