  • Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly preferred
  • Committed to trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice

Who we are

We've served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. We're building something real in Maryland, and we want clinicians who want to grow with us — into supervision, leadership, and mentorship roles as we scale.

When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.

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