Ellie Mental Health of The Woodlands/Conroe is a highly successful, multi-clinic organization focused on ending the stigma around mental health, filling the gaps, bringing fresh innovation, compassion, and accessibility to our community.

Our structure lowers the administrative burden traditionally associated with large and small practices, providing a more sustainable, leadership driven model as a viable alternative to exclusively remote provider models that often lead to burnout. At Ellie, our culture is literally the fabric that provides the background for pre-licensed and fully licensed therapists to find their home. Our emphasis on providing direct supervision and mentorship for all levels of licensure, seeks to lower the administrative burden and bring a richly curated experience to the lives of our therapists.

We are seeking licensed and provisionally licensed Child/Play Therapists to join our rapidly expanding teams. Ideal candidates must be well-resourced, able to show compassion and empathy towards each other and in assisting patients in the discovery and beauty of successful therapist-client relationships. Our clinics are growing rapidly, and we are seeking full-time clinicians in both of our locations in Shenandoah and soon in our new Conroe location. Evening and weekend in person and remote sessions also available and are in demand. We invite a diverse range of talents, skills, and backgrounds for these positions, offering the flexibility and opportunity to work in our beautifully decorated, cozy offices and over telehealth when appropriate. Our team is therapist-forward, diverse, compassionate, and connected as a community that are cared for and supported to be the best therapists they can be.

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?
