Job description:
We are an outpatient therapy clinic in Puyallup, WA who specialize in treating neurodivergent clients ages 8-21+ years of age. We are seeking a full-time Occupational Therapist or COTA to join our team! You will provide direct patient care and support client progress in a very fun, twist on "pediatric" therapy environment.

Our goals reflect that- Finishing a recipe in our kitchen with no more than MIN A, practicing job interview questions with at least a "7/10 self-satisfaction" rating, advocating within group settings, higher-level coordination goals, and much more!

At the heart of the practice is a strong commitment to neurodiversity-affirming, client-centered care. The practice emphasizes strengths-based support that empowers clients to develop the skills needed for success at home, in school, in the workplace, and within their communities. Therapy services are designed to be practical, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate, with a focus on real-world independence, self-advocacy, social participation, vocational readiness, and emotional wellness.
Empower Tomorrow Therapy Services has also established a strong reputation within the local community, supported by consistently positive client feedback and a growing presence in the region. In addition to in-person services in Puyallup, the practice offers teletherapy services throughout Washington State, expanding access to care for families who may not otherwise have specialized support available.
Responsibilities:
-Facilitate occupational therapy services for clients ages 8-21+
-Improve clients' learning, living, and/or vocational independence
-Monitor and assess client progress
-Convey treatment results and patient progress to relevant parties
-Collaboration with co-working therapists

Qualifications:
-Licensed to practice occupational therapy in the State of Washington
-Able to pass a background check
