Just people helping people. Want to join the herd? ???? 

Let’s start with what actually matters.  

At Ellie Mental Health, we believe great therapy starts with well-supported therapists. Not productivity robots. We’re on a mission to compassionately transform the culture of mental health care by making wellness more human, accessible, and sustainable—for clients and clinicians. 

We’re currently looking for a Child & Family Therapist who is passionate about supporting kids, teens, and families through life’s challenges with creativity, compassion, and authenticity.

Day in the life snapshot  

• Full-time outpatient therapist  
• ~25 client sessions/week
• Flexible scheduling
• Competitive compensation  
• Evening and/or weekend availability required to support client and family needs

This role is probably a great fit if you:  

• Love working with children, adolescents, and families 
• Care deeply about clients and the team around you 
• Communicate openly, kindly, and proactively (especially when things feel hard) 
• Are self-directed, but enjoy being part of a supportive team 
• Welcome feedback as part of growth—not criticism 
• Want autonomy in your clinical work without feeling isolated 

We’re building a culture where people feel respected, supported, and proud of the work they do. 

Clear expectations (because transparency matters):  

• Maintain a weekly caseload of 25 client sessions 
• Provide consistent evening and/or weekend availability to accommodate school and family schedules 
• Flexible scheduling once expectations are met 
• Some evening or weekend availability to meet client needs 

Burnout is real, and dealing with it isn’t just on you. We believe in self-care and mutual care, with realistic workloads, real flexibility, and leadership that actually shows up for the team (in and out of the clinic). 

What your days will actually look like:  

• Providing thoughtful, creative, evidence-based therapy to a diverse client population 
• Evaluating mental health diagnoses, creating treatment plans and documentation that support quality care 
• Collaborating with a team that shows up, communicates, and has your back 
• Using your clinical judgment freely—we trust you 
• Preparing and submitting individual documentation for each session 
• Participating in supervision, consultation, and trainings (because therapy shouldn’t feel isolating) 
• Coordinating services with case managers, families, work personnel, medical personnel, other Ellie staff, and school staff as needed 

What we offer (aka how we support you):  

• Competitive compensation with a transparent, unique pay model (base pay + commission)  
• Flexible schedules and strong work–life balance; there’s no rigid clock-in, clock-out culture 
• Comfortable, fully furnished offices 
• Clinical autonomy and respect for your judgment 
• Ongoing supervision and team support towards your professional goals 
• A values-driven culture rooted in creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination 
• Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and vision, plus paid admin time, CEU support, and a 401(k) match 
• We handle the stuff you don’t want to like marketing, billing, and other admin, so you can focus on providing excellent care 
• Opportunity for in-house clinical supervision  
• Company outings and celebrations 

Qualifications (and things you’ll need):  

• Master’s degree in a behavioral science or related field from an accredited college or university 
• Active licensure in your designated field, this includes temporary and/or junior license 
• Experience with diagnostic assessments, treatment plans, and clinical case notes 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills 
• Comfort working with diverse populations 
• Ability to set stable, appropriate boundaries with clients  
• Timely documentation habits 
• Familiarity with EHR systems (Valant a plus; training provided) 

Some evening or weekend availability is expected to meet client needs, but we plan schedules with you, not for you.

Our work is guided by our core values of creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination.
