Our Therapy Lead model ensures that every COTA, PTA, and SLPA is supported by a dedicated, experienced therapist whose entire focus is on mentorship, supervision, and helping you thrive. That means clear guidance, thoughtful feedback, and a clinical partner who has the time and capacity to invest in your growth.
