Broaden Your Reach. Your Way. With Rising Arete.
Now Hiring: Newly Graduated Associates
Starting your career as a clinician is exciting—but it can also feel overwhelming. You shouldn't have to figure everything out alone.
At Rising Arete, we believe great clinicians thrive when they have the freedom to develop their clinical identity, the support to grow professionally, and a team that genuinely values them.
The word Arete comes from the Greek concept of reaching the highest quality state or effectiveness possible. That philosophy is at the heart of who we are—not just for our clients, but for our clinicians, too.
We are looking for newly graduated associates working toward independent licensure who want to build a meaningful career in a supportive private-practice environment.
This isn't just a job. It's an opportunity to grow into the clinician you want to become.
What You Can Expect at Rising Arete
- W-2 employment — enjoy the stability and benefits of being an employee rather than an independent contractor.
- 401(k) benefits to help you plan for your future.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance to support your overall well-being.
- Flexible scheduling — you have significant autonomy in creating a schedule that works for your life.
- Beautiful, professional office space designed to provide a welcoming experience for both clinicians and clients.
- Dedicated computer and workspace with the tools you need to practice effectively.
- Support in building a sustainable caseload based on your clinical interests, availability, and professional goals.
- Clinical and professional growth opportunities as you develop your career.
- A collaborative, supportive culture where clinicians are respected as professionals.
- A long-term home where you can build relationships with colleagues and grow alongside an established team.
Build Your Clinical Identity
Graduate school gives you a foundation. Your early years in practice are where you begin to discover the clinician you want to be.
At Rising Arete, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Develop your clinical identity and areas of interest.
- Build your caseload gradually and sustainably.
- Learn from experienced professionals.
- Receive support as you navigate the transition into clinical practice.
- Develop confidence and independence as a clinician.
- Grow your skills while working toward independent licensure.
- Build meaningful, long-term relationships with clients and colleagues.
We're not looking for you to simply fill a chair.
We're looking for you to build a career.
Who We're Looking For
We welcome associates who are:
- Newly graduated and working toward independent licensure.
- Passionate about providing excellent clinical care.
- Professional, dependable, and compassionate.
- Interested in developing a strong and sustainable caseload.
- Motivated to continue learning and growing.
- Comfortable taking ownership of their professional development.
- Looking for a collaborative environment where they can build long-term relationships.
Why Rising Arete?
We know starting your career comes with a lot of choices.
Some practices treat associates primarily as a way to fill a caseload. We believe in something different.
We want to invest in clinicians who are at the beginning of their professional journey and provide an environment where they can develop their skills, discover their strengths, and build a sustainable career.
You bring your passion, clinical knowledge, and commitment to your clients.
We provide the environment, resources, support, and infrastructure to help you succeed.
If you're looking for a practice where you can grow with support, develop your clinical identity, and become part of a team that values longevity, we'd love to meet you.
Come grow with Rising Arete.
Reach your Arete.
Compensation: $65,000.00 - $70,000.00 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?
