How much does a OT earn in Colorado?
OT roles we recruit across the US are advertised at roughly $78k – $108k, typically $78k entry, $92k mid-career and $108k at senior or supervisory level. In Colorado, where an individual offer lands inside that range is driven by licensure, setting, caseload and local cost of living rather than a state-wide average. Attractive relocation market with high candidate inbound and a tight supply of experienced BCBAs.
What changes a OT offer in Colorado
- LPC, LCSW and LMFT are licensed by DORA, with candidate registration pre-licensure.
- Setting: Pediatric clinics, School districts, Hospitals and rehab price differently for the same credential.
- Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
- Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
- Scarcity: Consistently short in pediatrics and school contracts, especially where sensory integration or feeding experience is needed.
Why we do not publish a CO average
We publish what we actually see advertised on roles we recruit. We do not hold a statistically valid state-level survey, so quoting a Colorado average would be guesswork dressed as data. For official state wage estimates, use the federal source and treat it as a floor for negotiation, not a target.
