Be part of a national movement to end the stigma, fill the gaps, and bring greater innovation to mental health care.

Ellie Mental Health – Concord, MO is looking for an EMDR-Certified Therapist to join our growing team and expand our ability to support clients experiencing trauma and other concerns that can benefit from EMDR therapy.

As a therapist at our locally owned and operated Ellie clinic, you’ll share our vision for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care while working in an environment grounded in authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

We’re looking for a creative, collaborative, independently licensed clinician who is EMDR certified and passionate about providing high‑quality, trauma‑informed care while building meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues.

At Ellie Concord, clinician experience matters. We want our therapists to have the support and infrastructure they need to focus on what they do best—helping people—while also having opportunities to develop their specialties, grow professionally, and contribute to the direction of our clinic.

Seeking collaborative humans who want to change mental health care in meaningful—and sometimes even fun—ways.

Each Ellie franchise is independently owned and operated. At Ellie Concord, our team provides quality mental health services to children, teens, adults, couples, and families throughout the St. Louis community. If you’re an EMDR-certified therapist looking for a supportive place to practice, grow, and make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.

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.

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), CEU’s, and an incredibly inclusive environment. Additionally, Ellie provides centralized administrative support, technology, referral support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, and more.
