Who is Ellie?
Ellie Mental Health is a highly successful multi-clinic mental health organization based in Minnesota. We are expanding nationwide with a network of over 250 franchise owners and 400+ locations, creating a national community of like-minded supportive therapists.
Ellie clinics are structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services. Ellie makes the clinician’s experience a priority by offering: excellent compensation, benefits, training, and flexible scheduling. Not to mention
providing centralized administrative, technology, referral, and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections, and even CEU programs.

Ellie was proudly founded by clinicians 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 our local communities. We are excited to expand across the country by partnering with local leaders in your community.
Our clinics are structured to remove many of the obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services. Ellie makes the clinician’s experience a priority by offering excellent compensation, benefits, training, flexible scheduling (FT/PT), CEU’s, and an incredibly inclusive environment. Additionally, Ellie assists in providing centralized administrative support, technology, some referral support, scheduling, and client/therapist matching. There is the opportunity to provide telehealth services, but you do need to be able to commute into the office on a regular basis.
