What makes Ellie Mental Health different?
We are a unique company that is structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services. Ellie makes the clinician's experience the best it can be by providing excellent compensation, benefits, training, and flexible schedules while also providing centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, client/therapist matching, initial scheduling, and ongoing billing and collections. Through these robust shared services, Ellie strives to lower the administrative aspects of providing care to the absolute minimum, so our practitioners have more time to focus on what they love – serving clients! Other clinics may have some similar approaches to these things, but Ellie has found a sweet spot between the security and support offered by larger employers and the creativity and culture of private practice – enabling clinicians to practice independently but not in isolation. Ellie is bringing our innovative approach to the nation and continuing to find ways to transform mental health care.
Who are we looking for?
The Ellie Staff prides itself on being an innovative and creative team that works collaboratively with clients and community providers to deliver the most comprehensive and personalized treatment to all clients. Ellie Mental Health is excited to welcome a new Therapist to our Ellie Family! Therapists of all backgrounds encouraged to apply.

More About Ellie
Ellie Mental Health was the idea of two passionate and frustrated therapists who knew they needed the opportunity to be creative if they were going to find solutions to helping people with their mental health. The model focuses on flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and putting our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible business. Ellie is now a successful mental health organization headquartered in Minnesota. We are expanding rapidly across the nation through a franchise model because we want our owners to be imbedded in and have a passion for the communities they serve, because that’s where they live, work, grocery shop, and drive their kid to soccer practice. Still reading? Interest peaked? That’s fantastic! We can’t wait to meet you and see if you could be the dynamic business partner we’re looking for.
Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways.
Don’t meet EVERY requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Ellie Mental Health is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans can be their authentic selves! (Authenticity is one of our core values, after all…) If you’re excited about the chance to be a change-maker with us, but your past experience doesn’t perfectly align with every single qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. Our mental health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. And who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!
Employee Experience
We take care of our people. It’s that simple. From investing in their financial future, to providing wages that shatter the ceiling in our industry to reasonable caseload expectations we ensure that our people are happy. Happy employees do better work and provide better client care! No matter what it is that you do in your mental health career at Ellie, our clients depend on us cultivating an environment where our employees can thrive so that they can thrive too!
Y’all, jobs in mental health are tough jobs with a high risk of emotional fatigue and burnout. At Ellie, we use all of our core values of humor, creativity, authenticity, acceptance, determination, and compassion not just out in our communities, but we turn them inwards too! Our employees have clear growth paths for advancing their careers.
We have created a culture that reminds us that our employees are our leaders!
Company Structure
Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community’s needs. Many mental health and wellness-focused companies are non-profits or government agencies, which rely on the general public, grants, or large donors for funding. This model often results in little creativity and lower compensation for employees, promoting a work culture that just makes people feel “blah.”
Feeling blah doesn’t help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So we created a new model: one that puts flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible for-profit business focused on changing how we treat mental health.
In short, we’re just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
