Ellie was proudly founded by clinicians on the principle of destigmatizing mental health. The mental health industry is full of barriers, and we have made it our goal to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down these barriers for our local communities. We are excited to expand across the country by partnering with local leaders in your community.

This role leverages in-person and telehealth care, meeting our clients where they're at. This allows for a hybrid clinician schedule to collaborate with the team in the clinic and work from home!

Our clinics are structured to remove many of the obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services. Ellie makes the clinician's experience a priority by offering excellent compensation, benefits, training, flexible scheduling (FT/PT/days/nights/weekends), CEU's, and an incredibly inclusive environment. Additionally, Ellie assists in providing centralized administrative support, technology, some referral support, scheduling, and client/therapist matching. There is the opportunity to provide tele-health services, but you do need to be able to commute into the office on a regular basis.

Ellie Mental Health is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
