Meet Our Team Of Experts

We recognize that no child’s needs are quite the same. So we reimagined the typical care model to make it more personal, more accessible, and more personalized.

Our Areas of Expertise

We believe it’s important to uncover the underlying causes of your child’s pain, and address them as soon as possible. After all, childhood is short, and every day of suffering is a day they’ll never get back.

What our clients say

"I'm just really thankful for Backpack in general. And I'm really thankful that you guys also take Medicaid, 'cause that's my family, we live paycheck to paycheck and I didn't think that I would ever be able to have the opportunity to take therapy."
Backpack Client
"I'm seeing my daughter love herself more. I definitely see the positive change once she was able to open up to her Backpack therapist and really embrace what she brought to the table and grow from there."
Backpack Client Parent
"I love my therapist so much. I'm just really grateful that you guys have made such an impact in my life that I'm gonna carry with me forever."
