What else you should know:

Ellie Mental Health is a highly successful multi-clinic mental health organization originally based in Minnesota; however, Ellie in Boise operates as a locally owned franchise. The owner and Director are lifelong Idahoans committed to expanding mental health services in our community. Our vision is to operate a small but mighty clinic with a dedicated team of kickass therapists who support one another in providing excellent services to our clients and the larger community.

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. We also provide centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections, and CEU programs. Ellie strives to lower the administrative aspects of providing care so our practitioners have more time to focus on what they love - serving clients! We want our people to be happy because happy therapists do better work and provide better client care.

Compensation: starting at $40 per hour
