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!
