Let’s be real: the world needs more great therapists, and you deserve a workplace that doesn’t burn you out while you’re trying to save it. That’s where we come in. At Ellie Mental Health, we’re creating a space where therapy is accessible, stigma is challenged, and clinicians can thrive without losing their spark.
We’re looking for a therapist who is equal parts compassionate and creative—someone who believes therapy can be powerful and human. Bonus points if you love a good laugh, can roll with flexibility, and don’t mind brainstorming outside the box.
What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Changing Lives)
- Seeing clients for individual, family, and group sessions.
- Making diagnoses and treatment plans that actually fit people’s lives.
- Writing case notes and reviews (we keep the paperwork reasonable—we promise).
- Collaborating with other therapists who actually enjoy working together.
- (Full-time) Keeping a caseload of 26 -28 sessions per week, with flexibility built in.
What You Bring to the Table
- A master’s degree in a behavioral science field.
- A Maryland license as an LCSW-C, LCPC, or LMFT.
- A knack for treatment planning and documentation.
- A passion for mental health, plus a willingness to try new approaches.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
-
$80,000–$93,000 salary (because your work matters)
-
Generous PTO so you can actually rest
-
Flexible scheduling that doesn’t chain you to a desk
-
Paid Continuing Education time (keep learning without burning vacation days)
- Room to create programs and services that light you up
- A culture that values humor, authenticity, and community as much as clinical expertise
Flexible work from home options available.
Compensation: $80,000.00 - $93,000.00 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?
