At Ampersand Therapy, we know school-based work inside and out because we’ve done it ourselves. Founded by women who began their careers in school districts, we created a company that prioritizes real support, authentic connection, and a team culture that puts people first. We’re not a big, impersonal agency. We’re a small, therapist-run team, and we’re proud to now be local to Illinois after getting our start in Washington. Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned professional, you’ll feel valued here. Our Core Values Equity & Inclusion We build inclusive environments and support anti-racism efforts through partnerships with organizations like The Conscious Kid. Community Engagement We volunteer, donate, and stay active in causes like Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth. We also support the causes that matter to you.

An Inclusive Workplace Ampersand Therapy is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity in all its forms and are committed to creating a workplace where everyone belongs. We encourage all qualified individuals to apply. 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!
