Mental Health Therapist

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

Ellie Mental Health is looking for therapists (LPC, LCSW, and LMFT) who are seeking a different employment experience to ignite their creativity while minimizing the barriers that come with traditional therapy practices. We are a locally owned and operated private practice in Kansas City area that is structured to remove many of the daily obstacles of a provider. We currently have locations in Lee's Summit, Independence, the Northland and off of State Line Rd (Missouri side). By offering centralized support for inquiries, scheduling, client/therapist matching, insurance contracting, billing and collections, our therapists get to focus on what they love most – providing therapeutic healing to their clients. We believe providing a fantastic experience for our therapists is a critical link to better care and better outcomes in mental health. We prioritize our therapists as much as our clients. We offer flexible scheduling, competitive compensation, and excellent benefits. Benefits include PTO, paid holidays, medical & dental insurance, and a 401K w/ match. You will also be provided a beautiful, spacious office that is rent free. We seek a diverse community of therapists to collaborate and support one another. Certifications and/or training in CBT, DBT, EMDR, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy are a plus.

Compensation: $55,000.00 - $85,000.00 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! 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!

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?
