At Ampersand Therapy, we’re not a giant staffing firm, we’re a small, mission-driven team built by school-based therapists, for school-based therapists. Founded in Washington and now also local to Illinois, our company was created as an alternative to the traditional agency model. We believe in support, flexibility, and treating our team with the respect they deserve. Our Core Values Equity & Inclusion We’re committed to anti-racism, cultural responsiveness, and equity-centered services. We partner with organizations like The Conscious Kid to deepen our impact. Community Engagement We give back to causes we care about—like Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth—and support our team in doing the same. Environmental Responsibility We’ve adopted sustainable, low-waste systems and are proud to maintain a carbon-negative footprint. An Inclusive Workplace Ampersand Therapy is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome candidates of every race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, and background. We’re committed to building an inclusive, welcoming environment where you can thrive. We're a small business, local to many of the areas we hire in, and are proud to be women, minority, and therapist-founded and run. We began our career working in schools both as district and contract employees. We sought to create an alternative to working with big staffing companies. The result is a small team of like-minded specialists who are striving to create a company that we would want to work for. Because we are therapists ourselves, we are deeply appreciative of and understand the work that you do. We're also in a unique position to be able to support and mentor those who are new to this practice area. We're so passionate about students that we're often working in the schools ourselves. You might find us doing treatments alongside you!
