Child and Adolescent Therapist - LCSW, LPC, LMFT Hybrid

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

Burke, Virginia

Blackbird Health is clinician‑founded, owned, and operated by dedicated professionals. We offer virtual and in‑person mental health services for children and young adults in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New Jersey, with plans to expand to new states in 2026. Blackbird services include comprehensive evaluations and assessments, medication management, and a wide range of therapy services.

Clinicians at Blackbird Health take the time to truly understand what is causing a child’s challenges. By looking at how their brain, body, and behavior interact, our Care Teams see connections that are often missed when these areas are assessed separately. More than 90% of young people we serve have more than one factor affecting them, so we use a whole‑child model to identify overlapping conditions.

This deeper understanding lets us create precise care plans that address the underlying cause of challenges, not just manage symptoms.

If you care deeply about helping others and are eager to join a collaborative, innovative community where you will be encouraged and supported to thrive personally and professionally, Blackbird is a great place to advance your career. Join us and help change mental health care for children for the better.
