We Help You Build Your Caseload

We do not simply provide an office and expect you to find clients on your own. We invest in Google Ads, Meta advertising, SEO, community outreach, local sponsorships, and school and referral relationships.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct assessments and develop individualized treatment plans
• Provide high-quality, evidence-based therapy
• Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation
• Build toward and maintain approximately 25 completed sessions per week for full-time status
• Collaborate with parents, caregivers, schools, and referral partners when clinically appropriate
• Participate in team meetings, consultation, and professional development
• Optionally provide clinical supervision if qualified

What You’ll Bring

• Master’s or doctoral degree in a behavioral health field
• Active Illinois license: LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, PsyD, LPC, LSW, or ALMFT
• Experience or specialized training with children and adolescents
• Experience with assessment, treatment planning, and documentation
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Commitment to ethical, compassionate, and dependable care
• Willingness to participate in caseload development
• Ability to complete required background screening

At Ellie, therapists do their best work when they feel supported, trusted, and connected. If you want to build a meaningful private-practice career while helping children and families in your community, we would genuinely like to meet you.
