    Help Older Adults Feel Seen, Supported, and Connected

    Later stages of life can bring profound transitions — loss, health changes, shifting identities, and new family dynamics. Too often, older adults and their families navigate these experiences without the emotional support they deserve.

    At Ellie Mental Health – Clinton Township, we believe aging should be met with compassion, dignity, and meaningful connection. We are seeking a therapist who feels called to support older adults and their families through life’s transitions while helping them build resilience, purpose, and emotional wellbeing.

    If you’re looking for work that feels deeply meaningful — where relationships matter and your presence truly makes a difference — we’d love to meet you.

    🌟 Why Join Ellie?

    We are a locally owned, mission-driven clinic that prioritizes clinician support, connection, and sustainability. Our culture is collaborative, warm, and grounded in Ellie’s core values — authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

    You’ll find a strong team that enjoys working together, leadership that listens, and a flexible environment designed to help you thrive professionally and personally.
