Help children find their voice, support families through change, and grow with a team that supports you.

Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re going through. As a Play Therapist at our locally owned Ellie Mental Health clinic, you’ll use creativity, connection, and clinical skill to help children express themselves, build coping skills, and grow.

You’ll work with children and families in a welcoming outpatient setting, alongside a team that shares ideas, supports one another, and cares about making therapy more accessible.

What you’ll find here

Flexible scheduling and a mix of in-person and telehealth sessions based on client needs

A supportive Clinic Director and collaborative clinical team

Health, dental, and vision insurance; a 401(k); PTO; paid holidays; and parental leave, based on eligibility

Continuing education and opportunities to grow

A clinic culture that values your ideas, your well-being, and a little fun along the way

What you’ll do

Provide outpatient therapy to children using developmentally appropriate play therapy techniques

Partner with parents and caregivers to support progress beyond the therapy room

Create individualized treatment plans and help clients work through emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges

Maintain timely, accurate clinical documentation

Collaborate with colleagues and participate in team meetings and professional development

What We’re Looking For

A master’s degree in a behavioral health field and a full clinical license in Michigan, such as an LMSW, LPC, or LMFT

Experience providing therapy to children and using play-based interventions

A strong understanding of child development and family dynamics

A warm, creative approach that helps children feel safe and engaged

Play therapy training or Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credentials are a plus

Comfort using an electronic health record; Valant experience is a plus

This full-time role includes a target of 25 or more recorded client sessions per week. Some evening or weekend availability is helpful for families.

Compensation: Estimated annual earnings of $70,000–$90,000+, depending on caseload and productivity, with potential bonuses and incentives.

If you love helping children grow and want to do that work with a team that has your back, we’d love to meet you.
