Who We Are Looking For:

As an Outpatient Therapist at Ellie Mental Health, you'll 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.

We are seeking qualified, professional, and experienced clinicians who can work independently, but choose to be a part of a team.

Fluency in sarcasm is a plus 😉.

We are currently looking to hire:

1 full-time clinician (adult focused) at our existing East Paris clinic.

2 full-time clinicians (adult or child & adolescent focused) for our location in Grandville, MI scheduled to open in May of 2024.

The Kind of Company We Are:

Ellie Mental Health was founded in 2015 when they opened their first clinic in Minneapolis. Since then, the “Ellie Fam” has continued to grow with multiple clinics in Minnesota and a growing number of locally owned and operated franchises throughout the country; like our locations in Grand Rapids, MI.

Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community’s needs. Ellie was proudly founded on the principle of destigmatizing mental health. The mental health industry is full of barriers, and we’ve made it our goal to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down these barriers for the communities we serve.

Ellie is passionate about creating a healthy office culture, encouraging life-work balance, and providing therapists with the best of both compensation worlds by offering a W-2 employment model with private practice income potential.

Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces. Franchisees are independent business people and not employed by Ellie Family Services, PLLP, d/b/a “Ellie Mental Health”, Ellie MSO, LLC, or Ellie FAM LLC. Thus, each franchisee and each franchisee clinic is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their clinic, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. Depending on the clinic location you select, the job for which you apply may be in a clinic owned and operated by an independent franchisee, and not with the corporate-owned clinics, which are based in Minnesota. This means the franchisee, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP, is responsible for all employment matters at the clinic. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities. For franchisee clinic locations, please contact the franchisee organization directly to the extent you need assistance in completing forms or otherwise participating in that franchisee’s application process.
