Why Work With Us

Ampersand Therapy empowers you to serve your students! We're a small company, local to Western WA and are proud to be women, minority and therapist owned and run. We began our career working in the districts and also as contractors. 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!

Our Values

Focus on equity: We are listening and learning so that we can create a climate of equity. Diversity is multi-faceted, spanning race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, abilities, socioeconomic status, and religion, among many other identities. We believe our team must create a culture of equity and opportunity for all people. We are collecting and offering resources for your use in addressing racism and discrimination in school. In addition, we support and donate to charities including The Conscious Kid.

Focus on community: You can find us supporting local and national organizations which serve the community. In our spare time, we volunteer with and support organizations including Special Olympics, Project Canine, and the Moth. We empower you to support causes that are meaningful to you.

Focus on the earth: We support sustainable work in all aspects of our company including reducing paper use by going digital; finding lower-waste treatment options and pledging to have a negative carbon footprint.
