Our Values
Equity & Inclusion: We advocate for anti-racism in schools, support inclusive practices, and partner with organizations like The Conscious Kid.
Community Engagement: We give back—through donations, volunteer work, and support of organizations like Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth.
Environmental Responsibility: We’re committed to sustainability by minimizing waste, using digital systems, and maintaining a carbon-negative footprint.
An Inclusive Workplace
Ampersand Therapy is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and celebrate professionals of all races, identities, backgrounds, and abilities. We are committed to building an environment of belonging and professional respect.
