Occupational Therapist Jobs in Austin
Therapy 2000 hires pediatric occupational therapists across Austin and the surrounding Hill Country region to serve children from birth through age 21 in clinical and in-home settings. Working in pediatric OT here means building long-term relationships with families, not cycling through high-volume caseloads—and building a career in one of Texas’s fastest-growing therapy markets. If you’re an OT professional who wants meaningful clinical work supported by structured mentorship, financial investment in your growth, and a workplace designed around clinician wellbeing rather than utilization targets, what follows matters.
Therapy 2000 is one of Texas’s largest pediatric therapy providers, operating statewide with significant presence in Austin and the surrounding metro. That scale gives you geographic flexibility, stable employment, and a clear path for clinical advancement—from clinician to clinical mentor to leadership roles—all within a company built specifically around pediatric populations. The culture here is mentorship-first and therapist-centered: caseloads are structured for quality clinical work, not throughput, and leadership prioritizes patient outcomes over revenue per hour.
Therapy 2000 stands apart from hospital systems, school districts, and outpatient clinics because every role is built around pediatric expertise—not pediatrics as one department among many. Here’s what that difference looks like:
- Pediatric-only clinical focus — well-developed protocols and specialty knowledge across the team mean you’re not the lone pediatric expert in a generalist setting; every clinician around you understands developmental frameworks, sensory-motor theory, and family-centered care.
- Manageable caseload structure — session quality matters more than throughput; caseloads are designed so you finish documentation during your shift, not at home on your laptop.
- Statewide presence with local roots — positions in Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and underserved surrounding areas give you geographic options and long-term stability in a growing market.
- Cross-discipline team collaboration — OTs, PTs, and SLPs work on shared caseloads regularly; you’ll consult with other specialists on the same children rather than working in silos.
- Clinical autonomy backed by leadership — management prioritizes patient outcomes and trusts clinician judgment; you’re not fighting permission layers to adjust a treatment plan.
- Funded continuing education — CEUs required for Texas licensure renewal are covered; specialty certifications in DIR/Floortime, PROMPT, NDT, or AAC are supported as part of your professional growth.
This is a role for clinicians who want meaningful patient relationships rather than a high-volume production environment. Your day-to-day work includes:
- Evaluate and treat pediatric patients from birth through age 21 across the full developmental spectrum—infants in early intervention, preschoolers with motor delays, school-age children with sensory processing challenges, and teens navigating transitions into adulthood.
- Develop individualized treatment plans in collaboration with families, caregivers, and interdisciplinary team members; your recommendations shape how children learn to dress, eat, write, and engage in school and community life.
- Maintain clinical documentation that meets Texas licensure requirements and payer standards; you’re not drowning in paperwork because caseloads are designed so you complete notes during your shift.
- Communicate regularly with families to explain treatment goals, progress, and home practice recommendations in plain language; families understand what you’re working toward and why it matters.
- Participate in team case conferences and clinical supervision where applicable to your licensure; complex cases get reviewed with experienced clinicians, not handled in isolation.
- Collaborate with school districts and early intervention programs as each patient’s care requires; you’re part of a broader team supporting each child’s development.
- Mentor therapy assistants and clinical fellows where your licensure and experience qualify you; clinical leadership is a natural next step in your career here.
Why Work With Us
Beyond the standard benefits package, including a 401(k) retirement plan, flexible scheduling, paid time off, medical coverage, a flexible spending account, paid malpractice insurance, and an employee referral bonus, we run several internal programs to set our employees up for wins at work and at home. These extras reflect how seriously we take our team’s long-term success.
Mentorship Program
Structured clinical mentorship begins in your first week—not informal guidance from a busy colleague. You’re paired with a trained mentor and given dedicated time for case review, skill development, and documentation coaching. This is a formal program with selected mentors, not an ad hoc arrangement.
Achieving a Balance Between Work and Personal Life
Flexible scheduling and manageable caseloads are designed around clinician wellbeing. You communicate preferred hours, service areas, and caseload intensity during onboarding, and management works to accommodate these preferences wherever operationally possible. There’s no mandatory overtime, and documentation workloads fit within your shift.
Free CEUs
Continuing education units are funded at no cost. Therapy 2000 covers approved courses, in-house specialty workshops, and certifications relevant to pediatric OT—so you stay current without out-of-pocket expense. Clinicians who earn specialty credentials advance to clinical leadership roles faster.
I also love the support and guidance that I have received with T2K. I have grown so much as a CLM in the position with my management and leadership skills, which I can only credit to my amazing team. I also love the opportunities to grow and develop my clinical skill, and I feel I can always challenge myself in a safe and nurturing environment with mentors who help me grow!"
What I love most about T2000 is how they support me in my areas of interest and provide opportunities to help refine my skills as a clinician to give the best quality of services for the complex and medically-fragile pediatric population."
What I love about T2K is the importance of clinical excellence and putting our patients first. The team environment and everyone I work with!!"
I also love the flexibility this setting provides in various ways. The flexibility of navigating my own work schedule is great but being flexible to a child and family's needs as well. When working in the home environment, new concerns can arise quickly. I love that OT can pivot and address various developmental areas, so I find the home setting to be perfect for this."
We have amazing benefits 401K matching, Debt Crusher, PTO, and medical/dental/affordable vision insurance."
I always advise someone considering pediatric home health. To always choose a company with mentorship and remember to ask questions as those are the keys to growth. Thankfully T2K has an amazing mentorship program."
I love the openness and ability to speak freely and be heard. I love the resources and continuing education access we have. I love the ability to grow clinically, in leadership, or personally."
Debt Crusher Program
Debt Crusher is one of the most distinctive benefits we offer. Through this program, employees can request a wage advance of up to $1,000, which we apply directly to their creditor or lender as an additional payment. That advance is paid back through six equal, interest-free payroll deductions, and once a participant clears the balance they qualify for another advance whenever they need one.
We built the program after listening to staff share what high-interest student loans, medical bills, and consumer debt were really costing them each year. The numbers were eye-opening, and Debt Crusher is our practical answer to a problem most employers ignore entirely.

I completed my Master of OT degree from TWU in 2000 and then a Master of Science in Health Care Administration in 2008. I joined Therapy 2000 in late 2008 as part of the leadership team and spent the next several years working in therapy leadership operations.

Frequently Asked Question:
You’ll work with children from birth through age 21 across early intervention, outpatient clinics, schools, and in-home settings. Patients range from infants with developmental delays to teens transitioning to adulthood, with diagnoses spanning sensory processing disorder, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum, fine motor delays, and more.
Yes. New graduates are hired and paired with trained mentors beginning in their first week. Mentorship covers pediatric-specific protocols, documentation, complex case review, and confidence-building in evaluation and treatment planning. This is a formal program, not ad hoc guidance.
In-home therapy lets you work directly in the child’s natural environment—home, school, or community settings. You’re not constrained to a clinic schedule; families appreciate that you see their child where they spend most of their time. Mileage is reimbursed, and caseloads are structured the same way as clinic-based positions.
Caseloads at Therapy 2000 are built for quality clinical work, not throughput. You’ll carry fewer patients per week than many hospital systems or large school districts, and documentation is completed during your shift—not on personal time. The goal is sustainable caseloads that let you finish work when your day ends.
Therapy 2000 covers approved continuing education hours, specialty certifications, and in-house workshops required for Texas licensure renewal. You submit approved courses for reimbursement or Therapy 2000 registers you directly. No out-of-pocket cost; the company investment in your professional growth is built into the role.
A typical week includes direct patient care, documentation completed during your shift, team collaboration on shared cases, and—early in your tenure—dedicated mentorship time. You’re not juggling evening paperwork or covering for colleagues at full-book caseloads. Hours and caseload intensity are part of your onboarding conversation.
Submit an online application or reach out directly to talk through the role first. We’re happy to discuss fit, answer questions about culture and caseload structure, or walk you through what a typical week looks like.
