Your schedule. Your caseload. Your way of doing therapy.

Ellie Mental Health is on a mission to improve and expand access to quality mental health care. This full-time, hybrid role lets you set your own schedule and see clients in person, via telehealth, or both. Licensed and pre-licensed clinicians are welcome.

Who is Ellie?

We offer individual, couples, family, and group therapy in person and through telehealth. Our culture runs on our core values: autonomy, flexibility, creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, respect for diversity, acceptance, and determination.

We value therapists of every background and identity, and especially encourage BIPOC and LGBTQ+ clinicians to apply. Training in EMDR, neurodivergent-affirming care, play therapy, or other modalities is a plus.

What We Offer

• $65,000–$90,000 per year, made up of a base hourly rate plus commission, with paid admin time. Pay is based on licensure and experience.

• You control your schedule (the way it should be!)
• In-person and telehealth options
• Ellie Match, our exclusive tool for building a caseload tailored to you
• Clinic-provided marketing, outreach, and advertising to help fill your caseload, including a paid Psychology Today profile
• Consultation and training to grow your caseload and skills
• Supervision toward licensure for pre-licensed clinicians
• CEU reimbursement
• Health insurance, PTO, paid holidays, and a 401(k)
• Meaningful work on a team that actually has fun together

What You'll Do

• Assess, diagnose, and carry out treatment plans
• Build toward a full-time caseload of about 25 client sessions per week, with support from our team along the way
• Use creative interventions to help clients reach their goals
• Coordinate care and keep documentation current in our EHR
• Deliver a great client experience and help fill gaps in community care
• Join staff meetings, trainings, supervision, and community outreach

What You'll Bring

• Master's degree or higher in a behavioral science or related field
• A Connecticut credential in good standing:
  • Licensed: LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD
  • Pre-licensed: LMSW, LPCA, or LMFTA
• Experience with intake assessments, treatment plans, and clinical notes
• Strong communication skills and healthy client boundaries
• Timely, accurate documentation
• Comfort working with a diverse client base
• Ability to pass a background check

Nice to have

• Knowledge of community resources and insurance billing

• A sense of humor!

Don't Check Every Box?

Research shows women and people of color often hold back from applying unless they meet every qualification. We're building an inclusive team where everyone can be their authentic self. If this role excites you but your experience doesn't match every bullet, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

Flexible work from home options available.
