🌎 Help Us Expand Access to Care

At Backpack Healthcare, we’re re-imagining mental health care for children, teens, and young adults. As a clinician-led, minority-owned organization, we believe that when clinicians thrive, kids thrive.

We are experiencing strong growth across Maryland β€” particularly among Spanish-speaking families β€” and we are actively seeking bilingual (English/Spanish) therapists who are passionate about reducing barriers to culturally responsive mental health care.

If you’re fluent in Spanish and committed to serving diverse communities, this is an opportunity to make a powerful and lasting impact.

Many of the families we serve prefer therapy in Spanish. Your language skills can:

  • Increase access to care for under-served communities
