We’re a locally owned Ellie Mental Health clinic in Northwest Houston, offering therapists the chance to do meaningful work in an environment that’s values-driven, flexible, and community-focused. Our team culture is grounded in authenticity, teamwork, and creativity—and we’re hiring!
Ellie Mental Health was founded in 2015 by Erin Pash, LMFT, and Kyle Keller, LICSW, with a mission to fill the gaps in mental health care and break down the stigma surrounding it. Our Houston-Willowbrook location is proud to bring that mission to life with a team that values connection, partnership, and the freedom to show up as your full self.

- Opportunities to lead paid workshops and creative programming
- A collaborative culture that encourages growth, autonomy, and authenticity
- PTO + 7 paid holidays (including your birthday!)
- Full-time benefits: medical, dental, vision, and 401(k)
What You’ll Do:
- Provide individual, couples, and/or family therapy for children, teens, or adults (you choose your preferred caseload)
- Conduct intake assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes in Valant EHR
- Build and maintain your own caseload through marketing, networking, and community outreach
- Participate in team meetings and peer case discussions
- Maintain a minimum caseload of 25 sessions/week for full-time status
Who We’re Looking For:
- Master’s degree in one of the behavioral sciences or related fields from an accredited college or university, and Texas licensure (LPC, LMFT, LCSW — associates welcomed!)
- Strong documentation and communication skills
- Motivation to grow your caseload and make an impact in the community
- Proficiency in Office 365 and Electronic Health Record systems (Valant experience a plus)
- Fully licensed clinicians will be credentialed with insurance panels

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.

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?
