Psychiatrist — Part-Time

About the Role

We’re looking for a psychiatrist who wants to practice great psychiatric care — with kids, families, and young adults — without the demands of a full-time schedule.

Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We’re clinician-led and minority-owned, and our psychiatrists are a core part of an integrated care team, not a separate service line. You’ll work alongside PMHNPs, therapists, and care coordinators who are all focused on the same patients.

If you want meaningful part-time psychiatric work with real clinical collaboration and real flexibility — this is worth your time.

What this role looks like

You’ll carry a part-time caseload of 15–22 hours per week, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment via telehealth. Afternoon and evening availability is required. Weekend hours are available based on patient demand.

Day-to-day you’ll:

• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and assessments across the lifespan
• Diagnose and manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and more
• Develop individualized treatment plans including medication management and therapy recommendations
• Collaborate with therapists, PMHNPs, primary care providers, schools, and families
• Provide crisis intervention and ongoing support as needed
• Participate in team meetings and clinical consultations
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation in compliance with HIPAA and Georgia regulations
• Stay current on developments in psychiatric care and evidence-based treatment

What we offer

• Competitive fee-for-service hourly compensation
• Malpractice insurance coverage provided
• CME reimbursement
• Flexible scheduling with genuine work-life balance
• A collaborative clinical environment where your input shapes care

What we’re looking for

• MD or DO from an accredited medical school
• Completed psychiatry residency
• Board certified or board eligible in psychiatry
• Active Georgia medical license and DEA license
• Strong communication skills and genuine comfort working with diverse patient populations
• Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly encouraged
• Experience in outpatient, community mental health, or integrated care settings preferred
• Familiarity with telepsychiatry platforms and EHR systems preferred

About Backpack Healthcare

We’ve served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. We built Backpack because fragmented, inaccessible care wasn’t working — for families or for the clinicians trying to help them.

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