Child and Adolescent Therapist - LCSW, LPC, LMFT - Hybrid

At Blackbird, we envision a world where every child receives the care and support they need to thrive—emotionally, socially, and developmentally. That’s why we're transforming how pediatric mental health is assessed and treated, so we can make world‑class care available in local communities.

Our whole‑child diagnostic approach reveals the full story behind each child’s challenges, allowing us to address both the symptoms and their underlying causes. This leads to precise treatment sequenced in the right way to achieve meaningful outcomes that last.

Currently, we provide virtual and in‑person mental health services, including comprehensive evaluations, medication‑management and therapy, across Pennsylvania and Virginia with plans to expand to new markets in 2025.
