Occupational Therapist Jobs in Amarillo: Grow Your Career with Therapy 2000
If you’re searching for meaningful occupational therapist jobs in Amarillo, you deserve more than just a position; you deserve a purpose-driven career. We have been delivering high-quality, individualized pediatric home health services since 2000. Our occupational therapists provide compassionate, evidence-based care to children from birth to age 21 in the comfort of their homes and daycares.
As a leader in pediatric occupational therapy, we serve children with developmental delays, disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders across Texas. Founded by Jerre van den Bent, PT, Therapy 2000 was built on one guiding principle: always do what is right, never what is just easy. That philosophy continues to shape how we treat our patients and support our therapists.
From humble beginnings serving just five patients, Therapy 2000 has grown into a respected statewide provider with multiple divisions serving thousands of children each year. Our mission is simple: We Improve Lives. That includes the lives of our patients, their families, and the dedicated therapists who make our work possible.
Pediatric occupational therapists play a vital role in helping children develop the skills needed for daily living. In home-based settings, therapists address fine motor skills, sensory processing challenges, feeding issues, self-care routines, and school-readiness skills. By meeting families where they are, therapists build trust and create personalized care plans that reflect real-life environments.
Working in home health also allows occupational therapists to see an immediate impact. You collaborate directly with caregivers, provide hands-on education, and adapt strategies to fit the child’s daily routines. This approach fosters stronger outcomes and empowers families to actively participate in their child’s progress.
In occupational therapist jobs in Amarillo, clinicians are not confined to a clinic setting. Instead, they build meaningful connections within the community, forming partnerships with caregivers and other healthcare professionals. This collaborative environment strengthens therapeutic results and supports long-term developmental success.
Occupational therapists at Therapy 2000 assess developmental delays, design individualized treatment plans, and implement therapeutic interventions tailored to each child’s needs. Documentation is thorough and aligned with professional standards, ensuring compliance and continuity of care.
Therapists also educate parents and caregivers, offering practical strategies to encourage progress between visits. Communication and collaboration with physicians, educators, and other therapy disciplines are essential to maintaining coordinated care.
For those considering occupational therapist jobs in Irving, the role requires compassion, clinical excellence, and a commitment to ethical practice. We uphold strict standards of professionalism while creating a supportive and respectful workplace for every clinician.

We recognize that our employees are our greatest asset. Our leadership team is committed to creating a stable work environment with opportunities for growth, feedback, and advancement. We celebrate diversity, encourage innovation, and strive for excellence in clinical care and documentation.

Supporting Work-Life Balance for Our Therapists
Home-based therapy offers flexibility that traditional clinical settings often cannot match.
Our therapists enjoy manageable caseloads, scheduling flexibility, and the ability to create routines that align with both professional and personal priorities. We believe that when therapists feel balanced and supported, they deliver better outcomes for the children and families they serve.
Free CEUs
Professional growth is a cornerstone of our culture. Therapy 2000 offers free Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to support clinical excellence and lifelong learning. We believe education strengthens outcomes for patients and opens doors for career advancement.
Therapists have access to training opportunities that reinforce best practices, ethical standards, and emerging treatment strategies. Our commitment to education reflects our core value: We Strive for Excellence.
By investing in continuing education, we help our team members refine their skills, expand their knowledge, and stay current in a constantly evolving field.

From Our Team
Beth Hancock D/OTR Division Director
As the North Houston Division Director, I get to run my own little business. The impact I can have with this role is exciting to me. Growing up in a small town in Mississippi, I knew I wanted to go and see the world. So, after completing my Doctorate at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, I moved to Houston. I love the diverse population that Houston has to offer as well as the many opportunities for those in the medical field.
Recently, I joined the Therapy 2000/Green Apple Therapy team as Division Director and am so excited about the opportunity to expand Houston by introducing the T2K difference to Houston. Therapy 2000 shows how much they care about their therapists and soon everyone in Houston will know how great they are to work for.
I have spent my entire 20+ year career working with children. I love pediatrics so much because of the impact therapy can make not only in a child’s life but also in their family’s life. My first job as a therapist was at a sensory integration clinic working with children on the Autism spectrum and children with sensory integration diagnoses. I enjoyed the clinic, but I longed to work with a greater variety of diagnoses in a multi-disciplinary approach. I transitioned to home health and outpatient peds treating medically fragile patients. I enjoyed the home setting and the opportunity to see the child’s natural environment and tailor treatment around that; I was hooked.
My director encouraged me to apply for the OT supervisor position where I was able to supervise and mentor 35 OTs and COTAs in the home health setting. I loved sharing my knowledge and working with so many talented therapists. After 4 years as an OT supervisor, I took a role as the clinical therapy director. I love mentoring and supporting the people I’ve had the pleasure of managing; it feeds my soul to share knowledge. Over the years, I have taught numerous continuing education classes to grow my team’s clinical knowledge and skills. In the Division Director role, I love that I can continue to impact so many therapists and patients. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my husband Greg and watching my kids, Lee and Addison play baseball, volleyball, and soccer, and run cross country.
Brianne Villarreal, M.S. CCC-SLP Division Director
Hi there! My name is Brianne, and I am originally from Yoakum, a tiny town in South Texas. After graduation from high school, I moved to College Station and attended Texas A&M University for my bachelor’s degree. Following that, I ventured up to Dallas and attended UT Dallas obtaining my master’s in Communication Disorders.
My home life consists of two adorable tiny humans – Krosby (10) who is a baseball player and fanatic and Kambyl (7) who is a mix of girly-girl and rough-tough that is currently dabbling in competitive cheer and tumbling. We have a Pitbull rescue, Roo (10), who earned her name by jumping around like a crazy kangaroo when she first joined us. In the mix are also four guinea pigs, Violet, Shimmer, Cocoa and Oreo.
As Division Director, I enjoy being able to lead a team of leaders, provide support to all the therapists in our division and collaborate with my peers. Pediatric home health has my heart and I couldn’t imagine myself in any other setting (although I have worked in private practice, schools and adult home health too!). There is not another company like ours who truly cares about employees and patients the way Therapy 2000 does and I am so proud to be a part of it.
