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

Tired of burnout? Want to love being a therapist again? We've got you. If you've ever worked in a toxic environment where your voice wasn't heard, or been crushed under impossible productivity demands, this is your sign. We're Ellie Mental Health in Wexford, Pennsylvania, and we're on a mission to build a therapy home that's different. Think authenticity, creativity, and compassion—sprinkled with humor, flexibility, and a whole lot of humanity. We're looking for fully licensed therapists (LPC, LCSW, LMFT) or pre-clinically licensed therapists (LAPC, LSW, LAMFT) who want to do meaningful work in a hybrid role (some in-office, some telehealth).

Ellie Mental Health is here to destigmatize therapy and make mental health care more accessible. We offer therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups—always blending clinical excellence with creativity. Our vibe is authentic, collaborative, and sometimes silly, but never boring. If you want to work with a diverse client base and be supported instead of micromanaged, you'll feel right at home.

Why You'll Love It Here:

• Independence of private practice without the headaches, plus W-2 stability
• Flexible scheduling for real work/life balance
• Hybrid setup: bright Wexford office + telehealth from home
• Ellie Match tool pairs you with the right clients
• Clinical supervision, consultation, and continuing education
• Marketing, advertising, and admin support to grow your caseload fast

What You'll Be Doing:

• Conduct diagnostic assessments and build treatment plans
• Provide therapy that's creative, compassionate, and client-focused
• Maintain accurate documentation in our EHR (Valant users, you're already ahead!) and submit notes within two days of each session
• Full-time availability: 40 hours/week including two evenings until 8pm (or one evening plus part of a weekend day), with a goal of scheduling 30 and seeing 25 clients per week
• Actively manage client communications to keep late cancels and no-shows within practice expectations
• Coordinate care, join team meetings, and participate in community outreach
• Occasionally support scheduling/billing follow-ups and verify insurance accuracy (team effort!)

• Master's degree in behavioral sciences or related field
• Fully or pre-clinically licensed (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LAPC, LSW, LAMFT) in Pennsylvania
• Comfort working with diverse populations
• Solid boundaries and communication skills—plus the ability to laugh at yourself
• Pass a background check and provide three professional references
• Ability to be in our Wexford office part of the week (sorry, not 100% remote)

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?
