We hire BTs and RBTs with the intention that our hires will transition into more senior roles at Horizons, including full time and leadership RBT roles, BCBA roles ultimately Clinical Director and managerial roles.

We started Horizons ABA because we wanted to build an ABA company with a unique, therapist-centric culture; together with our clinical leadership we have created an environment that is growth-oriented, professional, and fulfilling. Here is how:

I. Compensation: We believe our team deserves to be compensated well for their efforts, contributions, and achievements.

III. Leadership and Engagement: Our clinical leadership is world-class and provides direct guidance and mentorship to our RBTs. In addition, the two founders are mission-driven and intimately involved in day-to-day operations and work with all of our staff directly. At our company everyone has a voice and if you have feedback or suggestions, we want to hear about it!

IV. Work / Life Balance: At Horizons, we believe in work-life balance and we help our RBTs find the right balance of Scheduling that best suits their interests, availability, and needs. From current in-home opportunities where we strive to minimize our team’s commutes to upcoming clinic-based roles in 2025, we work with you to find the perfect balance for you!

V. Reduced Administrative Burden: We utilize innovative software, AI tools, and efficient workflows to reduce our RBTs’ tedious administrative work and provide them with more time to focus on their clinical passions and build their behavioral therapy skills.

VI. Our Culture: We diligently built our company from scratch to create an inviting and therapist-centric culture. We lead with empathy. Character, ethics, and attitude are as important to us as intellect, ambition and work ethic. Making sure our team members feel supported and heard is core to our identity.  We foster community through exciting team outings and social events. We want you to enjoy being a part of our team!
