Child and Adolescent Therapist - LCSW, LPC, LMFT
About The Position
Blackbird Health is hiring a Therapist for its Virginia team to provide high-quality virtual and in-person therapy to children, adolescents, young adults ages 2–26, and their caregivers. The role uses a whole-child approach, considering how the brain, body, and behavior interact, and delivers compassionate, evidence-based care in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team. Therapists build relationships with patients and families, support engagement in treatment, and educate them about therapeutic approaches that foster long-term progress. Multiple employment arrangements are available: W-2 full-time, W-2 part-time, and 1099 contractor. Full-time clinicians have 36 hours of scheduled clinical availability supporting 28 completed direct-care hours per week, with hybrid or fully onsite options. Schedules include four-day workweek options and require at least 20 hours during peak evening and/or weekend periods. Part-time clinicians work 20 contracted hours per week, with 17 completed direct-care hours, anchored in peak periods. Contractors commit to 10 open patient-care hours weekly to achieve a baseline of eight completed clinical hours, with all available hours during peak periods. The posting says contractors can manage their schedules autonomously and have no non-billable administrative burden. Blackbird handles credentialing, billing, insurance, and the electronic medical record, and offers a guaranteed caseload. Paid weekly clinical consultation and peer support are built into the schedule. The organization describes itself as clinician-founded, owned, and operated, and provides virtual and in-person mental health services across Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, and Maryland, with expansion into new markets planned for 2027.
