ELLIE MENTAL HEALTH IS IN TENNESSEE!
Nashville West, TN — Bring Your DBT Skills to Ellie!
Looking for a Therapist Who Thinks Outside the Box?
If you’re a clinician who believes therapy should be personal, creative, and actually enjoyable to provide, we’d love to meet you.
Ellie Mental Health is growing in Tennessee, and our Nashville West team is looking for a Psychologist (PsyD/PhD) or Therapist (LPC-MHSP, LCSW, LMFT) with knowledge and experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
We’re looking for someone who brings clinical expertise, authenticity, curiosity, compassion—and yes, a sense of humor.
Why Ellie?
Ellie is a multi-clinic mental health organization focused on reducing stigma, closing gaps in care, and finding innovative ways to make quality mental health services more accessible.
We also know that clinicians didn’t go into this field because they dreamed of spending their days buried in paperwork.
That’s why we work to reduce unnecessary administrative demands and give therapists more time to focus on their clients.
Less busywork. More clinical work. More room to be you.
Our culture is built around:
Flexibility • Creativity • Authenticity • Humor • Compassion • Acceptance • Determination
💡 Who We’re Looking For
We’re hoping to find a clinician who is:
- Fully licensed in Tennessee
- Experienced or knowledgeable in DBT
- Comfortable working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults
- Experienced with or interested in couples, families, trauma, substance use, and/or school-based services
- Familiar with therapy documentation, insurance billing, and community resources
- Ideally credentialed with insurance panels
- Authentic, collaborative, creative, and comfortable being yourself
🎯 What You’ll Do
Your clinical expertise will be the star of the show. You’ll:
- Complete mental health assessments and diagnostic evaluations
- Develop and implement individualized treatment plans
- Provide quality, trauma-informed care
- Use DBT and other creative interventions to support client goals
- Complete timely case notes, treatment plan reviews, and required documentation
- Coordinate care with families, case managers, schools, employers, medical professionals, and other providers
- Collaborate with the clinical team
- Participate in staff meetings, consultation, and ongoing training
- Maintain a minimum of 27 client visits per week for full-time positions
Part-time opportunities are also available.
🎁 The Good Stuff
We want you to build a sustainable career—not simply fill a schedule.
That means offering:
- Competitive compensation and commission splits
- Paid PTO and sick time
- Paid holidays, including your birthday! 🎂
- Paid administrative time
- Paid CEU time
- Free access to the Ellie CEU Learning Management System
- Ongoing consultation, support, and supervision
- Flexible scheduling and hours
- Work-from-home options
- Opportunities to develop specialty programs based on your clinical interests
- Team-building events and Ellie swag
- Additional opportunities as we continue to grow
🌟 Your Clinical Style Belongs Here
Maybe DBT is your specialty. Maybe you have an idea for a new program. Maybe there’s a population you’ve always wanted to serve more intentionally.
We want to hear your ideas.
At Ellie, we want clinicians to have the freedom to develop their interests while providing excellent care in a supportive, welcoming environment.
If you’re ready for a workplace where clinical skill, creativity, flexibility, and a sense of humor can all exist in the same room, come join us at Nashville West.
Your clients will appreciate your expertise. Your future self may appreciate the birthday holiday. 😉
*Our Clinical Licensure Supervision Program has supervisors for folks seeking licensure as LCSW, LPC-MHSP, and LMFT. This is based on staff availability and we cannot guarantee that a supervisor match will be immediately available. We encourage license seeking clinicians to have one supervisor at Ellie and one outside to help enhance their learning experience, have additional perspective, and utilize the full range of cultural and clinical experiences provided by multiple clinical licensure supervisors.
Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces. Franchisees are independent business people and not employed by Ellie Family Services, PLLP, d/b/a “Ellie Mental Health”, Ellie MSO, LLC, or Ellie FAM LLC. Thus, each franchisee and each franchisee clinic is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their clinic, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. Depending on the clinic location you select, the job for which you apply may be in a clinic owned and operated by an independent franchisee, and not with the corporate-owned clinics, which are based in Minnesota. This means the franchisee, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP, is responsible for all employment matters at the clinic. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities. For franchisee clinic locations, please contact the franchisee organization directly to the extent you need assistance in completing forms or otherwise participating in that franchisee’s application process.
Ellie Mental Health is committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity and will not discriminate against an applicant or employee on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic information, or any other legally-recognized protected basis under federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances. Applicants with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodation under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and certain state or local laws. A reasonable accommodation is a change or adjustment to a job or work environment that will ensure an equal employment opportunity without imposing an undue hardship on the operation of the business.
Flexible work from home options available.
Compensation: $76,000.00 - $89,000.00 per year
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?
