Who Is Ellie?

Ellie Mental Health was proudly founded on the principle of destigmatizing therapy and filling the gaps often left by our healthcare system. Our outpatient clinic is structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health care. By offering excellent compensation, benefits, training, and flexible scheduling, Ellie makes the clinician’s experience our priority.

We provide support staff to handle administration, IT, new client inquiries, and referrals; online scheduling through our proprietary client/therapist matching tool; in-house billing and collections; and even free access to CEU programming.

We are constantly working with our therapists to lower the administrative aspects of their job to the absolute minimum, so they have more time to focus on what they love—serving clients! We want our people to be happy, because happy therapists do better work!
