Now Seeking: Medical Billing Specialist

Employer Introduction
Empower Tomorrow Therapy Services is an occupational therapy practice based in Puyallup, dedicated to helping older children, teens, and young adults build confidence, independence, and practical life skills.

Unlike many traditional pediatric therapy clinics that focus primarily on younger children, Empower Tomorrow Therapy Services has created a unique niche supporting clients ages 8 through young adulthood. Most of the clients served are neurodivergent, and autism, ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, and sensory processing difficulties are the most common diagnoses served.

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 South Sound 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.
