Why Work With Us
Ampersand Therapy empowers you to serve your students! We're a small company, local to Northern Colorado and 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!
