Pros

The team is awesome - all under one roof, so you’re not constantly chasing down other teams just to get on the same page. The culture is very “whole child, whole family” and explicitly trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming, which shows up a lot in onboarding and the ABA team. Therapy is very play‑based, child‑led work with a ton of respect for sensory needs and regulation before anything else. Caseload is mostly autism. Management is great with schedule flexibility if you are communicative ahead of time; the directors are pretty casual so communication often happens just dropping into their offices.

Cons

If play-based, unstructured therapy isn't your thing, this setting is not for you. Sessions are heavy on regulation and sensory, less so on structured tabletop tasks. Scheduling is challenging and changing often, scheduling does their best to communicate, but things fall through the cracks. Very fast paced and requires flexibility.

Pros

ICAN Children’s Therapy has been a really great fit for me as a younger clinician who cares about values and growth—not just a paycheck. The work is clearly purpose-driven, and I can see the impact on kids and their families, which makes even the hard days feel worth it. What I appreciate most is it’s normal to ask questions and admit you don’t know something yet, and get support. There’s a lot of informal mentorship through quick consults, debriefs, and shared treatment ideas, so I never feel like I’m on an island. Collaboration across disciplines is real here, and ideas from newer staff are taken seriously, not brushed off because of age or years of experience. The culture is friendly and casual, not really corporate, and people genuinely show up for each other—celebrating wins with kids and checking in after tough sessions. The job is demanding and fast-paced, but leadership is pretty open to talking about burnout prevention and not glorifying it.

Cons

The pace is fast and the work has a lot of emotional load. The clinic is very busy, and as a newer clinician it can be challenging to juggle a full caseload, documentation, and learning on the fly, especially on days with multiple high‑need kids in a row. There are supports in place, but you have to advocate for yourself and set boundaries so you don’t slide toward burnout.
