Our mission is to build a community of therapists who feel supported, appreciated, and empowered to make a difference. We proudly serve school districts throughout Western Washington and across several other states. You’ll work alongside a small, passionate team of school-based specialists—some of whom are still active providers in schools themselves. We offer mentorship and support, especially for newer school-based specialists, and are deeply committed to equity, sustainability, and community involvement.

• Community Engagement: We volunteer with and support nonprofits such as Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth — and empower our team to support the causes that matter most to them.
• Environmental Sustainability: We reduce paper use, seek low-waste therapy options, and are committed to maintaining a negative carbon footprint.
