Outpatient Mental Health Therapist

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

Ellie Mental Health is a highly successful multi-clinic organization focused on the movement to end the stigma, fill the gaps and bring greater innovation to mental health. Ellie clinics are structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health. We strived to lower the administrative aspects, so our practitioners have more time to focus on what they love - serving clients! We want our people to be happy because happy therapists do better work and provide better client care!

We are seeking passionate and unique Fully Licensed Therapists (LCSW, LCPC, LMFT) to join us in opening our Burr Ridge, IL, location. The perfect candidate is unique, fun-loving, authentic, shares our passion for providing access to quality mental health care, and thrives in a culture that emphasizes flexibility, creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination. Our therapists are highly compensated (base hourly pay, commission splits, paid time off, paid administrative time, paid CEU time, paid holidays, etc, etc…). They also have the flexibility to set their own schedule, manage their own caseload at a comfortable level, focus their efforts on specialties, and work in a warm, inviting office.

Candidates are required to have a master's degree in one of the behavioral sciences or related fields from an accredited college or university. Candidates should be fully licensed mental health professionals with a valid state of Illinois license. Required experience in completing treatment plans and clinical case notes. Effective written and verbal communication skills. Ability to demonstrate and model stable, appropriate boundaries with clients. Ability to complete and submit documentation of services and other documents in a timely manner. Comfort and familiarity working with a diverse client base. Proficient in the use of Office 365 and Electronic Health Record systems (Valant experience a plus!)

Prefer experience with children, adolescents, teens, and adults. Prefer experience with couples, families, trauma, substance abuse, and schools. Prefer a general knowledge of therapy services, community resources, insurance billing, and previous experience with mental health documentation. Fully licensed clinicians will ideally be credentialed with insurance panels.

Evaluate mental health diagnosis, create and implement a treatment plan, complete ongoing documentation, including further diagnosis, treatment plan reviews, and case notes according to company policy. For Full-Time status, clinicians must maintain a minimum caseload of 25 client visits per week (Part-time positions are also available). Provide excellent customer service for clients and collaborate with a dynamic team to further the mission of filling gaps in our community. Utilize creativity in interventions to help clients achieve and exceed goals. Prepare and submit individual documentation for each session. Coordinate services with case managers, families, work personnel, medical personnel, other Ellie staff, and school staff as needed. Attend and participate in all clinical staff meetings and training. Other stuff we probably forgot to add, but just as meaningful and essential to your role ;) A sense of humor will undoubtedly help as well!

Paid PTO. Paid Holidays (including your Birthday!). Free access to Ellie CEU Learning Management System, plus additional paid time for CEUs. Tons of consultation, support, supervision, and flexibility in scheduling and hours. Opportunity to be creative and develop your passions into new programs and services. Awesome Team Building Activities and Swag. More to come as we grow!

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.
