Blackbird Health provides mental health care for children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 2–26) through a hybrid model of virtual and in-person sessions. It offers services for mood disorders, learning differences, autism, and trauma, using a 'whole-child assessment' that assesses social, developmental, and academic factors. Care is delivered via a technology-backed system that supports integrated mental health services, including telepsychiatry and in-person visits, with families serving as primary clients and revenue generated from clinical services. Compared with competitors, it emphasizes a holistic, developmentally informed approach and seamless tech-enabled care across modalities, aiming to make youth mental health services more accessible. The company seeks to expand geographically and scale its integrated care model, backed by venture funding (Series A) to broaden reach into Pennsylvania, Virginia, and beyond.

New pediatric mental health practice accepting patients in Manheim Township. A new pediatric mental health clinic has opened in Manheim Township. Blackbird Health, a mid-Atlantic pediatric mental health provider, opened its ninth Pennsylvania office at 1390 Harrisburg Pike June 1. "As a new clinic serving a new market, we're starting with a smaller in-person team and plan to grow alongside community demand," said Abigail Tuller, content marketing director for Blackbird. "The Lancaster office currently includes a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and two therapists, with additional clinical positions actively being recruited." The practice is hiring two child and adolescent therapists and is accepting applicants to its psychiatric nurse residency program. Blackbird is renting the 700-square-foot office, Tuller said. The clinic provides child and mental health services, including evaluations and assessments, individual therapy services, medication management and family support. Blackbird accepts most major insurance plans including some Children's Health Insurance Program plans. Currently the practice doesn't accept Medicaid, but patients on Medicaid can contact Blackbird to discuss options, Tuller said. The practice is accepting new patients, and as of Wednesday, there was not a waitlist for appointments. Interested families can start the scheduling process by filling out a form online at lanc.news/blackbirdform or by calling 484-202-0751.

"Lancaster families deserve access to high-quality pediatric mental health care close to home, and we're excited to become part of this community."
