About the Clinic

Ellie Mental Health is opening a locally owned and operated mental health clinic in Athens and we need AMAZING counselors (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, LPC-A, LMFT-A, LMSW) to join our team.

As an Outpatient Therapist at Ellie Mental Health, you will share our vision for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care and thrive in an environment driven by our core values of authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

Ellie was proudly founded on the principle of destigmatizing mental health. The mental health industry is full of barriers, and we have made it our goal to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down these barriers for the communities we serve.

A New Herd Mentality

At Ellie Mental Health in Athens, the ideal candidate will be the person that strives to better their client's with creative, adaptive, and fun counseling techniques. Therapists should strive to build from the norms of traditional EBT counseling, while creating positive interactions with their established caseload.

Therapist will use active listening, empathy, and completely individualized care plans to meet the client's individual needs. Therapist will truly be present for each and every client they serve.

By living to these creative, fun, humorous, and individualized care plans we will set the standard for mental health care in the Athens-Clarke County area.

In addition, therapists will work in a more relaxed work environment, with better caseloads that beat the local industry standard. The Clinic Director is charged with ensuring the therapists are taken care of and preventing burnout. We want to care for our therapists, so they are ready to care for our clients.
