As a postdoctoral psychologist/psychology associate at Ellie Mental Health’s locally owned and operated clinic in Columbia, Maryland, you'll share our vision for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care and thrive in an environment driven by our core values of authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

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.

• All providers on the team have the option of participating in outreach events and community partnerships to develop connections in their own areas of professional development goals; the directors will support the professional development of each provider, rather than try to fit a provider into an existing "mold".
