PLEASE NOTE: At this time, we are only hiring for FULLY LICENSED PsyD and LPs. Please do not apply unless you will have full/unrestricted clinical licensure by early 2025, with a valid license to practice in the state of Colorado.

Ellie Mental Health is looking for early career fully licensed therapists (PsyD, LP) who are passionate about supporting service members, veterans and their families, AND are seeking a different employment experience to ignite their creativity while minimizing the barriers that come with traditional therapy practices.

We are a veteran owned aclinic in Greenwood Village that is structured to remove many of the daily obstacles of a provider. Think about this opportunity like being in charge of your own private practice, but with lots of support and a great team! By offering centralized support for inquiries, intake scheduling, client/therapist matching, insurance credentialing and claims (we are in network with most major insurances, multiple Medicaid RAEs, Medicare, and Tricare), our providers get to focus most of their time on what they love most – providing world-class mental health services. We believe providing a fantastic experience for our providers is a critical link to better care and better outcomes in mental health.

We prioritize our therapists as much as our clients. We offer flexible scheduling, competitive compensation, and excellent benefits. Benefits include PTO, paid holidays (including your birthday), health insurance, 401K, learning and development resources, and a training budget. You will also get to work in a beautiful, spacious office that is rent free.

Who Are We Looking For?

The perfect candidate is driven, accountable, and a problem solver that shares our passion for improving and expanding access to quality outpatient mental health care for service members, veterans and their families in Colorado. As part of this, they will have a demonstrated history of clinical practice and/or other professional experience (e.g., their own military service or having been part of a military family) that gives them a fluent understanding of military culture. They will also be open to working with clients outside of the military and veteran community. They will thrive in a culture that emphasizes our values of creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination.

Opportunities are available for in-person individual, couples, family, and group therapy services. This role leverages in-person and telehealth care, meeting our clients where they're at. This allows for a hybrid clinician schedule to collaborate with the team in the clinic and work from home! Our therapists relish working with autonomy and flexibility, while being part of a supportive team.

We want our DTC clinic to reflect the diversity that exists in our community! Bilingual, Black, Indigenous, Person of Color, Veteran, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and +Plus candidates are encouraged to apply. We also value diversity of age, ability, national origin, and religion/spirituality in our therapists.

What We Have to Offer
