LICENSED Outpatient Mental Health Therapist-Brentwood

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 Psychologists (PsyD, PhD) and Therapists (LPC-MHSP, LCSW, LMFT) to join us at Ellie in Brentwood, TN. The perfect candidate is unique, fun-loving, authentic, shares our passion for providing access to quality mental health care in Middle TN, 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. We want you to focus on the clients, not the "busy" stuff!

Candidates are required to have a master's degree in one of the behavioral sciences or related fields from an accredited college or university and on track to obtain licensure in their designated field. Candidates should be fully licensed mental health professionals with a valid state of Tennessee license. Required experience with 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 27 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 ;) Sense of humor will undoubtedly help as well!

Paid PTO / Sick Time. 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!

Our Clinical Licensure Supervision Program has supervisors for folks seeking licensure as LCSW, LPC-MHSP, and LMFT. This is based on staff availability and we cannot guarantee that a supervisor match will be immediately available. We encourage license seeking clinicians to have one supervisor at Ellie and one outside to help enhance their learning experience, have additional perspective, and utilize the full range of cultural and clinical experiences provided by multiple clinical licensure supervisors. Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces. 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. Thus, each franchisee and each franchisee clinic is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their clinic, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. Depending on the clinic location you select, the job for which you apply may be in a clinic owned and operated by an independent franchisee, and not with the corporate-owned clinics, which are based in Minnesota. This means the franchisee, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities, is responsible for all employment matters at the clinic. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities. For franchisee clinic locations, please contact the franchisee organization directly to the extent you need assistance in completing forms or otherwise participating in that franchisee's application process. Ellie Mental Health is committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity and will not discriminate against an applicant or employee on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic information, or any other legally-recognized protected basis under federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances. Applicants with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodation under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and certain state or local laws.

Compensation: $76,000.00 - $89,000.00 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?
