Outpatient Mental Health Therapist

Seeking Creative & Collaborative Humans With A Passion For Changing Mental Health Care In Fun And Meaningful Ways

If you're looking for a place that actually walks the talk on culture — where humor is welcome in the break room and you won't have to hide your personality to fit in — we'd love to meet you.

Ellie Mental Health is built around a simple idea: people deserve quality mental health care, and therapists deserve a workplace that doesn't burn them out. Our core values — authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination — aren't wall art. They show up in how we run our clinics and how we treat our team.

What You'll Actually Be Doing:

• Carrying a caseload of at least 25 client visits per week
• Completing diagnostic assessments, treatment plans, and case notes (yes, the documentation is real — we try to make it as painless as possible)
• Using your clinical creativity to help clients make real progress
• Joining staff meetings and trainings alongside a team that genuinely likes each other

What We Offer:

• Competitive pay (we're happy to talk numbers — no games)
• Benefits package including health, vision, and dental insurance
• PTO that you can actually use
• Flexible schedule
• 401K so future-you is taken care of
• Free continuing education credits — learning without the out-of-pocket hit
• Reimbursement for professional expenses (licensing fees, supervision costs, and the like)
• Real offices with actual furniture — not a closet with a chair
• Work-life balance that gives you room to breathe
• A path forward if you want to grow into leadership or specialty areas

What We're Looking For:

• A clinical license (LCSW, LMFT, LPC, or similar)
• Comfort with diagnostic assessments, treatment planning, and progress notes
• Solid boundaries with clients and the self-awareness to maintain them
• Willingness to keep up with documentation in a timely way (we all have to do it)
• Familiarity with Office 365 and EHR systems; Valant experience is a bonus
• Credentialing with insurance panels is ideal for fully licensed folks, but we can work with you

Flexible work from home options available.

Compensation: $65,000.00 - $80,000.00 per year

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?
