We are Ellie Aurora (sister clinic to Ellie Denver West) and we are dedicated to providing excellent mental health services to our community and supporting one another while doing so. We are looking for licensed clinicians who are passionate not only about serving clients creatively and authentically but also about contributing to a work environment they are excited to call their work home.

Ellie endeavors to make the clinicians experience a priority by offering competitive compensation, benefits, training, paid time off, and flexible scheduling. Not to mention providing centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections support, and even CEU programs. We strive to lower the administrative aspects of providing care to the absolute minimum, so our practitioners have more time to focus on what they love - serving clients and being authentic people!

How are we different?

We believe our community thrives when reflecting the diversity of our clientele and united by shared purpose. Ellie Aurora is on a mission to improve lives in Aurora and surrounding communities. We believe this requires a fresh approach to improving the quality, accessibility, and fit of mental health care in our communities. It requires a team as diverse as the communities we serve, yet firmly united by our shared home and mission. We believe in being a truly values-driven entity - walking our walk instead of just talking a talk.

Our values are acceptance, authenticity, compassion, humor, determination, and creativity and heres a little of how we are driven by them:

• Taking care in selecting & supporting our clinicians is the most effective path to taking care of our community. We provide support through shared definitions of success and autonomy for you to achieve that success. One measurable example of how we achieve this is your time:
  • Personalized schedules within available clinic hours
  • Hybrid session environment (in-person and telehealth)
  • All of your time is valuable- clinicians dont work for free and are paid for administrative time, CEU time, consult time, etc.
• Educational attainment, licensure status, and lived experience are all valuable as evidenced by all being taken into account when determining pay tier
• We do not utilize the traditional Ellie pay model in order to center our clinicians voiced need and preference for stability

Youre excited to support and be supported by a talented team as passionate and committed as you are.

We are dedicated to hiring clinicians who accurately reflect the population we serve and believe that a diverse range of experiences, identities, abilities, perspectives, and paths is not only nice to have but necessary.
