Ellie Mental Health - improving access to care and filling in the gaps of care in our community!
Are you ready to take the leap into private practice but the business side of things makes your head swim? We've got you! If you're a great therapist AND you know you don't want to run marketing or fight with insurance companies for billing, let's chat! If you seek autonomy but the lack of a safety net makes you nervous, we can help!!!
We are locally owned and operated by folks who are invested in making a difference in our community. We are a group private practice that accepts all of the major insurances so that we can more readily serve those who seek support. Our team is made up of some of the best clinicians in the area, with a wide array of interests, niches and specialties.
At Ellie, we are fighting to end the stigma around mental health, filling in the gaps of care in our community and removing the barriers that people face when seeking support! Ellie prioritizes therapists through a unique compensation model and various benefit offerings, as well as the encouragement to lean into what you are passionate about - groups, training, community outreach? The sky is the limit!
We strive to lower the administrative aspects of private practice so therapists can focus on what they love – being a therapist! This includes a centralized intake where clients are scheduled with the therapist best suited to meet their needs; credentialing new therapists, verification of client benefits prior to first appointment, billing insurance and marketing so you don't have to!
Therapists have access to free CEUs and trainings, a team of clever therapists to consult, schedule flexibility and autonomy and freedom to develop and deliver the kind of work that fuels them! Paid time off, paid holidays and paid administrative time.
The perfect candidate will share our passion for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care and will thrive in a culture that emphasizes: autonomy and flexibility for folks who are motivated and self sufficient, being part of a supportive and encouraging team and good vibes! Our values include creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance and determination. Veterans, BIPOC and LGBTQ folks always encouraged to apply - we value diversity and representation!

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?
