Job Description

Join Therapy Care and Launch Your Career with Confidence

Are you a speech-language pathologist (SLP) clinical fellow or an experienced clinician seeking a supportive and collaborative environment where you can grow professionally while making a meaningful difference in the lives of children? Therapy Care invites you to join our team of dedicated professionals committed to helping children achieve their fullest potential.

For more than 34 years, Therapy Care has provided exceptional support, resources, and mentorship to new and experienced clinicians, empowering them to deliver outstanding services to the children and families they serve.

Our comprehensive clinical fellowship program is designed to help new graduates build confidence, develop clinical expertise, and transition successfully into independent practice.
