- Built for Clinicians Who Want More Autonomy — and Meaningful Work with Children & Families
Ellie Mental Health is a W2 private practice platform built for clinicians who want autonomy, income growth, and ownership — without the administrative burden of running their own practice.
We are seeking clinicians who enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families and are motivated to build a caseload in this area.
You won’t be handed a guaranteed schedule — you will build one.
You won’t manage billing, credentialing, rent, or overhead — we handle that.
You’ll have the flexibility to design your schedule, work hybrid (in-person + remote), and grow a child and family-focused caseload that aligns with your clinical interests and goals.
What Makes This Opportunity Different
- W2 employment — no 1099 tax or overhead burden
- Hybrid schedule flexibility
- Beautiful, fully furnished in-person clinic space (ideal for child & family work)
- Administrative, billing, and credentialing support
- Performance-based income growth potential
- Bonus opportunities tied to productivity
- Signing incentives available for clinicians with an established client base or community presence
- Supervision for limited license clinicians
- Ongoing case consultation support
- Medical insurance benefits available for clinicians maintaining full-time caseloads
We provide the infrastructure. You bring the ownership.
