Picture yourself applying evidence-based evaluation techniques, setting personalized goals, and implementing engaging, client-centered interventions that adapt to diverse settings—from acute care and inpatient rehab to outpatient clinics and community programs. Your impact will extend beyond the clinic walls as you mentor families and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, turning each therapeutic moment into a stepping stone toward greater independence. Georgia’s charm complements your professional journey: the sparkling shores of Lake Lanier, the protected trails of the North Georgia foothills, and vibrant small towns offer a backdrop where outdoor exploration and southern hospitality nourish both your spirit and your practice.
