Job Description
Every therapist deserves a work environment that enables them to provide the best possible services, just as every child deserves the support that empowers them to find their voice.
AXIS Teletherapy was built by two SLP sisters who believed therapists thrive when they’re part of a community designed for balance, connection and purpose.
Working with schools across the country, both virtual and brick-and-mortar, AXIS delivers remote therapy through a trusted team of speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists, counselors, and evaluators.
The result is high-quality care for students across the country, and a strong, supportive community for the professionals who serve them.
School Social Workers at AXIS help students navigate the complex emotional and social challenges that can affect their ability to learn and thrive. Through virtual support, they connect with students, families, and school teams to build strategies that foster stability, resilience, and growth. Their role is essential in creating safe, inclusive learning environments where every student feels seen, supported, and understood.
