LMFT Therapist
Full Time • Hybrid - US
Responsive recruiter
Job description
Ellie Mental Health is looking for early career fully licensed therapists (LPC, LCSW, and LMFT) who are seeking a different experience to ignite their creativity while minimizing the barriers that come with traditional therapy practices.
We are located in Yorktown-Kiln Creek, VA. Think about this opportunity like being in charge of your own private practice, but with lots of support and a great team! By offering centralized support for inquiries, intake scheduling, client/therapist matching, insurance credentialing and claims (we are in network with most major insurances, multiple Medicaid RAEs, Medicare, and Tricare), our providers get to focus most of their time on what they love most – providing world-class mental health services. We believe providing a fantastic experience for our providers is a critical link to better care and better outcomes in mental health.
We prioritize our therapists as much as our clients. We offer flexible scheduling, competitive compensation, and excellent benefits. Benefits include PTO, paid holidays (including your birthday), health insurance, and learning and development resources. You will also get to work in a beautiful, spacious office rent free.
Who Are We Looking For?
The perfect candidate is driven, accountable, and a problem solver that shares our passion for improving and expanding access to quality outpatient mental health care in Virginia. They will also thrive in a culture that emphasizes our values of creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination.
Opportunities are available for in-person individual, couples, family, and group therapy services. This role leverages in-person and telehealth care, meeting our clients where they're at. This allows for a hybrid clinician schedule to collaborate with the team in the clinic and work from home! Our therapists relish working with autonomy and flexibility, while being part of a supportive team. We have been asking our community partners for their hopes in the types of therapy we’ll provide, including EMDR and other evidence-based treatments for PTSD, parent-child interaction therapy and other therapies for children and adolescents, Exposure and Response Prevention, therapies specific to eating disorders and body image concerns, group therapy, substance counseling integrated with therapy, therapy to support neurodiverse folx, and grief therapy.
We want our clinic to reflect the diversity that exists in our community! Bilingual, Black, Indigenous, Person of Color, Veteran, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and +Plus candidates are encouraged to apply. We also value diversity of age, ability, national origin, and religion/spirituality in our therapists.
What We Have To Offer
- Competitive compensation (hourly base pay plus commission) between $75,000.00 - 103,000.00.
- Flexible scheduling (set your own schedule!) and telehealth where clinically indicated
- Choosing the clients and presenting concerns you want to see!
- Nice Healthcare for your everyday care needs (www.nice.healthcare)
- Health, Dental & Vision Insurance options
- Paid Time-Off

Required Qualifications and Skills
- Respectful, inclusive, professional, flexible, collaborative, and team-before-me mentality
- Candidates are required to have at least a master’s degree in one of the behavioral sciences or related fields from an accredited college or university
- Candidates must have full/unrestricted clinical licensure (LMFT, LPC, LCSW, etc.) with a valid license to practice in the state of Virginia.
- Experience with completing psychosocial assessments, treatment plans and clinical case notes
- Comfort and familiarity working with a diverse client base
- Ability to demonstrate and model stable, appropriate boundaries with clients
- Ability to complete and submit documentation of services and other documents in a timely manner
- Proficient in using MacBook, app-based phone software, and Microsoft Office, Outlook and Teams, and/or able to quickly learn new workplace software and systems
- Adept at learning and navigating Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems
- If planning to engage in tele-health from home, having a home office that is professional, private, and HIPAA-compliant

Compensation: $75,000.00 - $103,000.00 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?
