The scheduleFull position details
  • Full-time contract: a full caseload of your own as a 1099 independent contractor, with a schedule we set together.
  • Leave coverage: a full caseload (approximately 40 pediatric clients) Tuesday through Friday, 8:30 AM–4:45 PM, with a built-in 90-minute to 2-hour lunch break daily.
  • Occasional coverage for travel and illness outside of that window.
  • The part-time options aren’t mutually exclusive: a clinician taking the after-school caseload can also pick up PRN coverage, or vice versa.
How we workOur approach, in depth

At Little Luminaries, therapy is never about drills, pressure, or compliance. We believe children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and seen. Our work is strengths-based and neurodiversity-affirming, grounded in play, relationship, and natural language modeling, not demands.

If you join our team, you’ll be stepping into a practice built around these same values: reducing demands rather than adding them, honoring every form of communication as legitimate, and treating families as the experts on their own children.

Our culture

A team that takes care of each other.

  • Growth, not perfection

    We encourage a growth mindset. Nobody here is expected to be perfect.

  • Your mental health matters

    We put our therapists’ well-being first, and we don’t require any productivity measures.

  • We work together

    A collaborative team, where nobody has to figure things out alone.

  • Heads together

    We all have strengths and areas to grow, so we brainstorm together about clients we get stuck on.

  • Lifelong learners

    We stay curious and keep learning, from training and from each other.

  • Family friendly

    Bring your kids to work if you need to. Dr. Taylor brings her child all the time, with a babysitter.

You’re joining a family, not a corporate practice.

This isn’t about money for us. It’s about connection, and loving children and families.
