Do Work That
Matters.
Every Single Day.
Sierra Behavioral Therapy is looking for compassionate, driven Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) in Arlington and the greater Fort Worth area to join our growing team. No prior experience required — we train and certify you.
More Than a Job.
A Place to Grow.
We built Sierra Behavioral Therapy differently. Led by a BCBA, our team runs on science, compassion, and a genuine belief that the people who do this work deserve real support.
We pay $20–$25/hr for RBTs — above the Fort Worth median of $19.68/hr — because we know your work is worth it. Merit increases tied to performance, not just tenure.
No RBT certification? No problem. We provide full paid 40-hour training aligned to the 2026 BACB requirements, supervised by our BCBA and clinical director — at zero cost to you.
Sierra Behavioral Therapy actively supports team members pursuing BCaBA and BCBA credentials. Get supervised hours, study support, and mentorship from a BCBA clinician right here in Arlington.
We serve Arlington, Fort Worth, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, and surrounding Tarrant County communities — so you're not commuting across the Metroplex for every session.
We work cases together, share the hard days, and flex our schedules around real life — because a team that takes care of itself takes better care of its clients.
We proudly serve English- and Spanish-speaking families across DFW. Bilingual team members are especially valued and may be eligible for additional compensation.

Hear from RBTs who are already making a difference with families across the Arlington area.
I came in with zero experience working with kids with autism. The training Sierra Behavioral Therapy provided was incredibly thorough, and Martha was available every step of the way.
As a bilingual RBT, I get to work with Spanish-speaking families who couldn't previously access quality ABA care. That connection is something I'm incredibly proud of.
I was a para at an Arlington ISD school before this. The jump to Sierra Behavioral Therapy meant better pay, a clear career path, and the chance to work under a BCBA.
