About Blackbird

Our Commitment
Blackbird Health is clinician-founded owned and operated by dedicated professionals. We believe that in order to fulfill our ambitious mission of supporting children with the very best care we must build the best possible team.

Blackbird Health offers 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 childs challenges. By looking at how their brain body and behavior interact Blackbird Care Teams see connections that are often missed when these areas are assessed separately. Nearly nine out of 10 young people who need support have more than one factor affecting them which is why our whole-child model excels at identifying how conditions overlap. This deeper understanding allows Blackbird clinicians to create precise care plans that address the underlying cause of challenges not just manage the 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 both personally and professionally Blackbird is a great place to advance your career. Our teams are integral to the success of our patients and our mission and we are excited to welcome more compassionate inspired thought leaders to our growing organization. We want your time here to be the most meaningful of your career. Join us and help change mental health care for children for the better.
