About Blackbird

We envision a world where every young person is fully understood and receives the unique support they need to spread their wings and fly.

Blackbird Health provides evaluations and treatment for children, teens, and young adults struggling with developmental differences, mental health concerns, or behavioral challenges. Blackbird serves families in-person and virtually across Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey, with plans to expand to new states in 2026.

Our approach looks at the whole child - how their brain, body, and behavior interact - to fully understand their challenges and treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Position Summary

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Blackbird Health, you'll play an essential role in delivering comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, treatment planning, and medication management for children, adolescents, and young adults. You'll build meaningful connections with patients to support their engagement in treatment, spending the necessary time with patients and families to understand their needs, educate them about care options, and provide ongoing support. You'll ensure patients are making progress against their care goals and take the necessary steps to keep our patients safe. Working alongside an interdisciplinary team, you'll be empowered to make a tangible difference in the lives of young patients and their families. This hybrid role requires a minimum of 10 hours per week with a minimum of 5 hours per week onsite.

What makes you, you :

• Mission-Driven : You are passionate about transforming behavioral health for youth and committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate psychiatric care.
