Lead Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Growing Hearts is a boutique pediatric occupational therapy practice serving families across Northern Virginia. Since 2020 we have done therapy differently: we come to the child. Our therapists work with kids in their homes, schools, and daycares, in the natural settings where skills actually stick. No sterile clinic, no waiting room.

We are hiring an experienced occupational therapist to step in as our Lead Pediatric OT. This is an autonomous, independent role for someone ready to own a caseload, treat with confidence, and be the clinical lead on the ground, with the full support of our founder. A full or part-time caseload is ready to begin immediately.
