Thinking about leaving agency life for private practice, but worried about trading one set of headaches for another: credentialing, billing, finding your own clients, and paying a platform a finder fee for every one it sends? You don't have to do it alone, and you don't have to figure it out from scratch.

Ellie Mental Health is a locally owned, locally operated private practice with locations in Lee's Summit, Independence, State Line Rd (Missouri side), and North Oak. We built our model specifically to make the leap from agency to private practice easy: we handle client inquiries, scheduling, therapist matching, insurance contracting, and billing, so you get the autonomy and earning potential of private practice without having to run a small business on the side.

We believe a great experience for our therapists leads directly to better care and better outcomes for our clients. That's not a tagline — it's how we're structured.

This Role

This is a full-time position requiring a caseload of 25 client hours per week- because we believe therapy was never intended to be a 40 hr work week.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation with uncapped earning potential
• Medical and dental insurance
• 401(k) with match
• Paid holidays and PTO — including your birthday
• Flexible scheduling within your caseload
• Same pay structure on every client, including the ones we source for you. No finder fees!
• Paid case consultations
• Paid continuing education time
• Paid time for completing documentation
• In-house educational library with approved CEU credits
• A beautiful, spacious office — rent-free
• Credentialing, office space, and technology all included

What You’ll Do

• Evaluate mental health diagnoses, create and implement treatment plans, and maintain ongoing documentation (diagnosis updates, treatment plan reviews, case notes) per company policy
• Maintain a full-time caseload of 25 client hours per week
• Provide excellent customer service to clients and collaborate with a supportive, dynamic team
• Bring creativity to your interventions to help clients meet and exceed their goals
• Submit individual session documentation per company guidelines

What You’ll Need

• A master's degree in a behavioral science or related field from an accredited college or university, with active progress toward licensure
• A clinical license in Missouri (LMFT, LPC, or LCSW)
• Experience completing diagnostic tools, treatment plans, and clinical case notes
• Familiarity with therapy services, community resources, insurance billing, and mental health documentation (preferred)
• Ability to submit documentation in a timely manner
• Ability to model stable, appropriate boundaries with clients
• Comfort working with a diverse client base
• Proficiency with standard office technology and Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems

Training or certification in CBT, DBT, EMDR, Play Therapy, or Sand Tray Therapy is a plus, but not required.
