Built for Clinicians Who Want More Autonomy — and Meaningful Work with Children & Families
Ellie Mental Health is a W2 private practice platform built for clinicians who want autonomy, income growth, and ownership — without the administrative burden of running their own practice.
We are seeking clinicians who enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families and are motivated to build a caseload in this area.
You won’t be handed a guaranteed schedule — you will build one.
You won’t manage billing, credentialing, rent, or overhead — we handle that.
You’ll have the flexibility to design your schedule, work hybrid (in-person + remote), and grow a child and family-focused caseload that aligns with your clinical interests and goals.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
• W2 employment — no 1099 tax or overhead burden
• Hybrid schedule flexibility
• Beautiful, fully furnished in-person clinic space (ideal for child & family work)
• Administrative, billing, and credentialing support
• Performance-based income growth potential
• Bonus opportunities tied to productivity
• Signing incentives available for clinicians with an established client base or community presence
• Supervision for limited license clinicians
• Ongoing case consultation support
• Medical insurance benefits available for clinicians maintaining full-time caseloads
We provide the infrastructure. You bring the ownership.
Who Thrives Here
Clinicians who:
• Enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families
• Engage caregivers and family systems in treatment
• Build and maintain recurring caseloads
• Re-book and retain clients consistently
• Develop relationships with schools, pediatricians, and community organizations
• Value autonomy and performance-based growth
If you prefer a guaranteed caseload with minimal accountability, this may not be the right fit.
Responsibilities
• Provide high-quality therapy to children, adolescents, and families
• Engage parents/caregivers to support outcomes
• Complete timely documentation and treatment planning
• Maintain consistent recurring client schedules
• Coordinate care with schools, pediatric providers, and supports
• Participate in team collaboration and case consultation
• Build professional visibility and community relationships
Qualifications
• Master’s degree in Counseling, Social Work, MFT, or related field
• Michigan license (LPC, LMSW, LMFT, LP) or limited license track
• Experience or strong interest in child, adolescent, and family therapy
• Strong documentation and communication skills
• Comfort with hybrid work
• Existing caseload or referral relationships encouraged (incentive eligible)
Compensation & Professional Support
• Competitive compensation structure
• Bonus opportunities tied to performance
• Flexible schedule
• Hybrid work model
• Supervision for limited license clinicians
• Case consultation support
• W2 stability without private practice overhead
Why Join Ellie?
We are building clinics rooted in ownership, accountability, and access to care — not a therapy mill or corporate agency environment.
If you want autonomy, income growth, and the opportunity to do meaningful work with children and families, we’d love to connect.

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?
Apply here.
A company rooted in values of creativity, humor, compassion, acceptance, determination, and authenticity
Unique pay model with industry leading compensation
Comfortable, furnished offices and clinic environment
