Tired of hearing "that's just the way it is here"? 
Wanting to contribute to something new alongside a group of dedicated professionals? 
Starting to feel like you're reading an infomercial? 

We are Ellie: a new outpatient therapy clinic in Denver West and we're expanding our amazing team. We're looking for pre-licensed clinicians who are passionate not only about serving clients creatively and authentically but also about contributing to a work environment they are excited to call their work home. 

Ellie makes the clinician’s experience a priority by offering competitive compensation, benefits, training, and flexible scheduling. Not to mention providing centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections, and even CEU programs. We strive 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 and being authentic people!!

How are we different?

We believe diversity thrives when united by shared purpose. Ellie Denver West is on a singular mission to improve lives in Denver West and surrounding communities. We believe this requires a fresh approach to improving the quality, accessibility, and fit of mental health care in our communities. It requires a team as diverse as the communities we serve, yet firmly united by our shared home and mission. It’s what we call EllieFam, and it’s the most important part of what we do. 

Here’s a little of what EllieFam means to us:
  • Taking care in selecting & supporting our clinicians is the most effective path to taking care of our community. We provide support through shared definitions of success and autonomy for you to achieve that success. One measurable example of how we achieve this is your time: 
    • Personalized schedules within available clinic hours
    • Hybrid session environment (in-person and telehealth)
    • All of your time is valuable- clinicians don’t work for free and are paid for administrative time, CEU time, consult time, etc.
  • Educational attainment, licensure status and lived experience are all valuable. Our compensation model reflects this. 
Who We Are Looking For? 

You are a clinician driven by passion for and belief in the work you do. You’re excited by our mission and by the opportunity to bring your unique strengths & creativity to it at the ground level. You’re excited to support and be supported by a talented team as passionate and committed as you are.     

We are dedicated to hiring clinicians who accurately reflect the population we serve and believe that a diverse range of experiences, identities, abilities, perspectives, and paths is not only “nice to have” but necessary. Clinicians who identify as a part of historically marginalized groups are highly encouraged to apply!

As a clinician within our clinic, you’ll partner with us and co-lead our mission by:

  • Providing excellent and individualized care to community members in search of mental health support

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
