The Balanced Kid is a clinician owned and operated, private and boutique, pediatric occupational therapy (OT) agency.

We support and collaborate with families and caregivers, as well as other professionals in all aspects of our client’s daily lives. We take pride in our specialty niche of OT services which honors a holistic approach. More specifically, we embrace and highlight the philosophies and treatment approaches based on Dr. A. Jean Ayres Sensory Integration Theory (ASI) and Relationship-Based models, including the Greenspan DIRFloortime Approach, all while using our Child-Parent-Therapist Model for each and every client and their family. 

Our vision at The Balanced Kid is to offer our highest quality OT services encompassing all aspects of a young person’s occupational role. We specialize and focus on sensory processing and integration, regulation and modulation of inputs, postural organization and stability, praxis, social abilities, emotional learning and regulation including shared attention and coping skills across environments during functional participation in daily living. 

Our intimate team of occupational therapists are not only beyond knowledgeable and professional, but they also embody a spirited, creative empathetic and engaging approach that helps build meaningful connections with their clients and caregivers. We are looking for another team member who possesses these same qualities. Our therapists use a strengths based approach to improve awareness, teach and practice skills, enhance functional participation, and ultimately bring a better quality of life and sense of “balance” to every client and their family. Our therapists believe in educating, treating and supporting individuality to help our clients feel safe, understood, confident, powerful, responsible, curious, resilient, playful, cooperative, adaptive, and kind in all areas of their lives. We care deeply and believe in the communities we serve. Our commitment to our clients and their families as well as our relationships with area professionals is extremely important in our therapeutic approach and service.

In considering the opportunity to join our exceptional team of occupational therapists, we hope to find an experienced, pediatric occupational therapist who is eager to join us in our mission and vision. We are looking for our next team member to provide comprehensive OT support from the intake process, evaluation and assessment, implementing treatment and problem solving to support the client’s occupational profile while honoring their interests, strengths, and family systems. We work with children ages 2 years through adolescence, and we look for someone who enjoys professional collaboration and growth with like-minded occupational therapists. 

We are looking for a full-time occupational therapist to join our team with an emphasis on supporting school-aged clients during the after school hours with potential to work Saturdays as well as mornings and early afternoons. We offer a very competitive salary which is commensurate with education, experience, certifications, specialty skills and training.
