Are you passionate about making mental health more accessible and less stigmatized? Join us at Ellie Mental Health in our brand-new Rio Rancho clinic, where you’ll be part of a collaborative, fun, and mission-driven team that lives by our core values: authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.
We’re hiring both independently and non-independently licensed clinicians who are ready to make a real impact in the community.
Ellie Mental Health was founded to challenge the barriers in traditional mental health care. Here in New Mexico, every Ellie clinic is locally owned, operated, and staffed — meaning your voice matters and your work directly supports your community.
Enjoy Clinical Autonomy & Flexibility
At Ellie, we trust you to do your best work. That means flexibility to set a hybrid schedule that fits your life, whether in-person, virtual, or a mix of both. You’ll also have the freedom to build a caseload aligned with your strengths and passions — we support clinicians in working with the populations and specialties they’re most excited and passionate about.

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?
