Physical Therapist (Full-Time or Part-Time)
One-on-One Care | Cash-Based Practice | Clinical Mentorship | East Islip, NY
Burned Out by Traditional/Corporate Physical Therapy?
Be honest...
- Are you tired of treating multiple patients at the same time?
- Do you spend more time documenting and managing a schedule than actually treating people?
- Have you invested in continuing education but rarely have the opportunity to use what you've learned?
- Do you feel like productivity numbers have become more important than patient outcomes?
If you answered "yes," you're not alone.
That's exactly why Prep Physio Therapy was created.
Who We Are
Prep Physio Therapy is a growing cash-based Physical Therapy practice in East Islip built around one simple idea:
Give clinicians the time and freedom to provide exceptional care.
Our founder built this practice after experiencing firsthand the burnout that comes from high-volume traditional/corporate Physical Therapy settings. Instead of rushing between treatment rooms, supervising multiple patients, and spending hours dealing with insurance requirements, we created a practice where Physical Therapists can focus on what they were trained to do; help people move better and live healthier lives.
Every patient receives a full hour of one-on-one care.
No double booking.
No juggling multiple treatment rooms.
No relying on aides to provide treatment.
No rushing through visits just to stay on schedule.
What Makes Us Different
At Prep Physio Therapy, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Treat one patient at a time for a full hour.
- Build meaningful relationships with your patients.
- Think critically and modify treatment throughout every session.
- Practice the hands-on skills you've worked hard to develop.
- Develop custom programs for clients, not just predetermined exercises because you are too busy to assess what they really need.
- Minimize paperwork through our cash-based practice model.
- Work in a collaborative, supportive environment where quality of care comes first.
We believe great patient outcomes happen when clinicians are given the time and autonomy to do their best work.
Grow as a Clinician
Learning doesn't stop after graduation. Physical Therapists must continue to learn and grow to continue to advance our profession and provide the best possible care.
We are committed to helping every therapist continue to develop professionally through:
- Weekly clinical mentorship
- Continuing education discussions
- Collaborative case reviews
- Co-treatment opportunities on challenging patients
- Manual therapy skill development
- Exercise and training program development
- Clinical reasoning and problem-solving
Whether you're a new graduate looking for mentorship or an experienced clinician searching for a better environment, you'll continue to grow here.
Opportunity for Long-Term Growth
We're not a large corporate organization with layers of management.
We're a growing private practice with a vision for the future.
If you've ever wanted to help build something meaningful, develop leadership skills, or learn how a successful cash-based Physical Therapy practice operates, this is an opportunity to grow alongside the company.

- Values quality over quantity.
- Enjoys manual therapy and movement-based rehabilitation.

Therapist Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a therapist in New York?
Becoming a licensed therapist in New York requires a master's or doctoral degree in a qualifying field such as social work, mental health counseling, or marriage and family therapy, followed by supervised post-degree clinical hours and a passing score on the relevant licensure exam. The New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions, oversees licensure for LCSWs, LMHCs, and LMFTs. Most candidates complete their supervised hours working at community mental health agencies or hospital systems before sitting for the exam.
Which companies hire therapists in New York?
Employers hiring therapists in New York right now include Rochester Regional Health, Evolve Therapy Services, and United Health Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. New York's large integrated health systems and expansive community behavioral health network mean therapist openings are distributed across both major urban centers and suburban counties throughout the state.
Which New York cities have the most therapist jobs?
Rochester, New York, and Brooklyn have the most therapist job openings in New York. New York City drives the largest share of demand given its dense concentration of hospital systems, community mental health centers, and private group practices, while Buffalo and Albany attract openings through regional health networks, state-funded behavioral health programs, and anchor academic medical institutions in each area.
Are there remote therapist jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most clinical roles. About 15% of therapist openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the widespread adoption of telehealth following New York's expanded reimbursement policies for remote mental health services. Outpatient therapy, EAP counseling, and care coordination roles are the most commonly offered in fully remote formats, while intensive outpatient and school-based positions typically remain on-site.
How can I get hired as a therapist in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a clinical internship or practicum placement at a New York community mental health agency, which often converts to a paid associate or pre-licensed clinician role after graduation. NYC Health + Hospitals and the Jewish Board both hire unlicensed clinicians accumulating supervised hours toward licensure. Roles titled clinical case manager, mental health counselor associate, or residential counselor serve as common lateral entry points, and candidates who have already passed Part One of their licensure exam hold a clear edge in competitive applicant pools.
