Join a Team That Values You

"Palo Alto Therapy provides the best of both worlds—a private practice feel with full support. I love the team, the consultation groups, and the training opportunities!" - Current PAT Therapist

"I loved working at PAT and had an overall incredibly positive experience with both other staff, managers, and my clients. I always felt valued, heard, and respected and like any input I had for management would be sincerely considered. I learn and grew so much as a therapist as a started here as an associate and grew in my knowledge of CBT more than I ever expected up until becoming fully licensed. PAT supported my licensure needs and requirements all along the way. So many valuable trainings and great training reimbursement funds as well for outside trainings that interest you! Mostly encountered motivated and engaged clients which kept things interesting."

"Palo Alto Therapy (PAT) is a very positive work environment. The practice goes above and beyond to offer regular consultation and training opportunities and promote a supportive culture. The care coordinators and administrative team are exceptional allowing therapists to focus on their clinical work. Overall, one of the best places I have worked."
