About The Position

Blackbird Health is seeking licensed therapists to provide high-quality virtual and in-person therapy to children, adolescents, young adults ages 2–26, and their caregivers in Virginia, Maryland, or New Jersey.

They work within an interdisciplinary team to provide compassionate, evidence-based, family-centered care.

Several work arrangements are available: W-2 full-time, W-2 part-time, and 1099 contractor.
