Ready for a Leadership Role Where You Can Make a Real Impact?

Are you looking for more than just managing a caseload? Do you want the opportunity to build a team, shape a clinic, and grow into a larger leadership role?

Ellie Mental Health is seeking a Virginia-licensed LCSW Clinical Supervisor

who is ready to step into leadership and help shape the future of a growing clinic.

We're a locally owned, rapidly expanding practice dedicated to increasing access to high-quality mental health care. We're looking for someone who is passionate about clinical excellence, enjoys mentoring and developing clinicians, and wants to play an active role in building a strong, supportive team.

This isn't just another supervisory position. It's an opportunity to grow with us, influence the direction of the clinic, and advance your leadership career as we continue to expand.

What you'll do

• Carry a manageable caseload of 20-22 clients per week
• Provide weekly clinical supervision and mentorship to pre-licensed therapists (MSW/LMSW), building to a full team of up to 6 supervisees over your first several months
• Oversee clinic quality of care, documentation, and productivity
• Help shape hiring, training, and team development
• Partner directly with ownership on clinic growth and community outreach

What we're looking for

• Active Virginia LCSW license and VA Board-Approved Supervisor status
• 1-2+ years of clinical supervision experience (private practice preferred)
• A master's degree or higher in social work or a related behavioral science field
• Strong working knowledge of Virginia mental health regulations
• A natural mentor — someone who loves pouring into supervisees and helping early-career clinicians find their footing
• Comfort working in a role where strong performance is rewarded

What you'll earn

• A clinical base plus commission on every session, with your exact rate depending on insurances
• $92,000-$114,000 in total annual compensation once you combine clinical pay, your supervision stipend, and benefits
• Supervisor stipend of up to $2,400/month — your pay grows as your team grows toward six supervisees
• Guaranteed pay during your 4-week onboarding while you build your caseload

Benefits

• Company health plan (eligible after 60 days; opt out and your commission rate increases)
• Malpractice insurance fully covered
• 80 hours of PTO/sick leave, plus 7 paid federal holidays
• Free CEU library to keep your license and skills sharp
• Wellness benefits, on-site gym, free parking, and quarterly team activities

Why Ellie

• A genuine leadership track — room to grow your scope and influence as the clinic expands
• A flexible hybrid schedule (some evening availability needed)
• A culture built on authenticity, compassion, humor, and creativity — we take the work seriously, not ourselves

Who thrives here

Our best people share a genuine passion for expanding access to quality care and feel at home in a culture of autonomy, flexibility, creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, and determination. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.
