Outpatient Mental Health Therapist - Pre-Clinically Licensed (LAPC, LSW, LAMFT) – Hybrid (In-Person in Wexford, PA + Virtual/Telehealth)

Tired of burnout? Want to love being a therapist again? We've got you.

If you've ever worked in a toxic environment where your voice wasn't heard, or been crushed under impossible productivity demands, this is your sign. We're Ellie Mental Health in Wexford, Pennsylvania, and we're on a mission to build a therapy home that's different. Think authenticity, creativity, and compassion—sprinkled with humor, flexibility, and a whole lot of humanity.

We're looking for pre-clinically licensed therapists (LAPC, LSW, LAMFT) who want to do meaningful work in a hybrid role (some in-office, some telehealth). Bonus points if you like coffee, fun stickers, memes, or laughing in the middle of a serious staff meeting (yep, it happens... often).

Who We Are

Ellie Mental Health is here to destigmatize therapy and make mental health care more accessible. We offer therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups—always blending clinical excellence with creativity. Our vibe is authentic, collaborative, and sometimes silly, but never boring.

Full benefits: Paid time off (PTO), paid holidays, paid CEU and non-CEU trainings, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401k with employer match, subsidized supervision hours (pre-licensed), license renewal reimbursement, AI notetaking subsidy, maternity leave, professional liability insurance, credentialing services, company laptop, and more!
