Blackbird Health Expands Pediatric Mental Health Care Across Pennsylvania with Pittsburgh-Area Launch

BETHEL PARK, Pa., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackbird Health, a clinician-founded provider of pediatric mental health services, has expanded into southwestern Pennsylvania, connecting Pittsburgh-area families with its broader network of clinicians and coordinated services. Care is available virtually, with in-person services offered when appropriate at Blackbird's new Bethel Park location. The expansion marks another step in Blackbird's commitment to improving access to pediatric mental health care for families across Pennsylvania.

The Bethel Park clinic provides comprehensive evaluations, therapy, executive function coaching, and medication management, neuropsychological testing, and specialized ADHD and autism assessments for children, adolescents, and young adults. Care is tailored to each patient's needs, including challenges related to anxiety, depression, attention, behavior, learning, and development.

"Expanding into the Pittsburgh region represents an important step in our commitment to serving families across Pennsylvania," said Tom Peterson, CEO of Blackbird Health. "We have built a strong statewide network of clinicians and services, and we are excited to make that experience available to more families. Our goal is to become a trusted partner to families, pediatricians, schools, therapists, and other organizations supporting children throughout the region."

Connecting Families with a Statewide Clinical Network

Blackbird's expansion into the Pittsburgh region connects families with specialists across its Pennsylvania clinical network. Care teams can match patients with providers based on factors such as age, diagnosis, clinical needs, and therapeutic approach—not solely on which clinician is located closest to the family.

Virtual and in-person services are integrated within a single care model. Depending on the patient's clinical needs, care may take place virtually, in person, or through a combination of both. This approach can help families begin care sooner, maintain consistent appointments, and connect with clinicians whose expertise is best suited to their child.

"Children do not all need the same kind of care—or benefit from receiving it in the same setting," said Michael Tang, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer of Blackbird Health. "Our clinicians consider the whole child, including emotional health, behavior, development, school functioning, family dynamics, and any co-occurring concerns. From there, we develop a personalized plan that brings together the appropriate services, specialists, and care setting."

Making Pediatric Mental Health Care Easier to Navigate

Families in the Pittsburgh region can access comprehensive evaluations, therapy, executive function coaching, medication management, neuropsychological testing, and specialized ADHD and autism assessments. Care is tailored to each patient's needs, including challenges related to anxiety, depression, attention, behavior, learning, and development.

Blackbird will also build relationships with pediatricians, therapists, schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations throughout Allegheny County and southwestern Pennsylvania. With permission from families, its clinicians can coordinate with outside providers and school teams to support continuity across the different parts of a child's life.

"Pittsburgh has a strong healthcare community, and we look forward to working alongside the professionals and organizations that families already know and trust," Peterson said. "Those relationships will be essential as we expand access and become part of the care network supporting children and families across the region."

Blackbird began serving families in the Pittsburgh region on August 31, 2026. Virtual care is available throughout the area, with in-person services offered at 1500 Oxford Drive, Suite 200, Bethel Park, PA 15102, when appropriate.
