Most importantly, we want Say It Louder to be somewhere you

look forward to coming to work .

A note from Courtney, Founder I started Say It Louder because I wanted to create the kind of practice I would have wanted to work in myself—a place where clinicians are trusted, families feel genuinely heard and quality of care matters more than how many appointments we can fit into a day.

I care deeply about the families we support, but I care just as much about the people providing that support. I don’t believe great therapy should come at the expense of clinician wellbeing.

As our practice grows, I’m now looking for my

first team member —someone thoughtful, kind, reliable and curious, who I can genuinely enjoy working alongside.

If you’re experienced, I’d love you to bring your knowledge, confidence and clinical interests.

If you’re a new graduate, I’d love to help you develop them. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

As the first person to join me, you’ll have a genuine opportunity to help shape what Say It Louder becomes. Your ideas will matter, your voice will be heard, and I want you to feel proud of what we build together.

If you’re looking for a place where you can do work you’re proud of—and actually enjoy coming to work I’d love to hear from you.
