What Therapists Say: "PAT is a very positive work environment. The practice goes above and beyond to offer regular consultation and training opportunities and promote a supportive culture. The care coordinators and administrative team are exceptional, allowing therapists to focus on their clinical work. One of the best places I have worked."

"I love that you get the feel of working in a private practice but still have co-workers around you. Everyone shares resources and they are team oriented. PAT really tries to match you with the clients you want to work with and are passionate about. There is so much opportunity for training."
