Occupational Therapist: Skills That Change Life

Be the pathway from limitation to capability. You break down barriers into manageable pieces and guide children toward meaningful change. You help them build the physical, cognitive, and self-regulation skills needed to function with greater independence.

Who We Are

TheraTree Pediatric Therapy is on a mission to grow minds, bodies, and spirits through integrated, high-quality pediatric therapy. We bring together Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, Mental Health, and Neuropsychological Diagnostics under one roof to support the whole child and the entire family system.

At TheraTree, occupational therapy is the link between potential and participation. You take what feels overwhelming and turn it into clear, achievable steps that build confidence and skill. You help children develop control over their movements, their behaviors, and their daily routines in ways that carry into real life. Occupational Therapy is integrated into a larger picture of regulation, movement, behavior, communication, and emotional well-being. We are building an environment where clinicians are supported, challenged, and able to grow while making a measurable impact. We are looking for an Occupational Therapist who wants to be part of our collaborative team, contribute to something that is growing, and do work that genuinely matters.
