  • Built for Trauma Focused Clinicians Who Want More Autonomy

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 with experience or strong interest in trauma focused therapy, including EMDR, PTSD, anxiety, complex trauma, grief, attachment work, and related clinical concerns.

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 with in person and remote options, and grow a trauma focused caseload that aligns with your clinical interests and professional goals.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

  • W2 employment with no 1099 tax or private practice overhead burden
  • Hybrid schedule flexibility
  • Beautiful, fully furnished in person clinic space
  • Administrative, billing, and credentialing support
  • Performance based income growth potential
  • Bonus opportunities tied to productivity
  • Signing incentives may be available for experienced clinicians with an established professional presence or strong community relationships
  • Supervision available for eligible limited license clinicians
  • Ongoing case consultation support
  • Medical insurance benefits available for eligible full time employees

We provide the infrastructure. You bring the ownership.

  • Support appropriate continuity of care through consistent scheduling when clinically indicated
  • Develop relationships with aligned referral sources and community partners
  • Value autonomy and performance based growth
  • Want income growth potential tied to effort, consistency, and productivity

If you prefer a guaranteed caseload with minimal accountability, this may not be the right fit.

Responsibilities

  • Provide high quality therapy to clients experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, relational stress, or related concerns
  • Use trauma informed and evidence informed approaches, including EMDR when clinically appropriate
  • Complete timely documentation and treatment planning
  • Maintain consistent recurring client schedules when clinically appropriate
  • Coordinate care with outside providers and supports as needed
  • Participate in team collaboration and case consultation
  • Build professional visibility and community relationships

  • Current Michigan license or limited license, such as LPC, LMSW, LMFT, LP, LLPC, LLMSW, or LLP
  • EMDR training preferred
  • EMDR certification is a plus
  • Experience or strong interest in trauma focused therapy
  • Strong documentation and communication skills
  • Comfort with hybrid work
  • Established professional relationships or ethical caseload transition experience encouraged

Compensation and Professional Support

  • Competitive compensation structure
  • Bonus opportunities tied to performance
  • Flexible schedule
  • Hybrid work model
  • Supervision for eligible limited license clinicians
  • Case consultation support
  • W2 stability without private practice overhead

Why Join Ellie

We are building clinics rooted in ownership, accountability, and access to care. We are not a therapy mill or corporate agency environment.

If you want autonomy, income growth, and the opportunity to build a meaningful trauma focused practice within a supportive W2 platform, we would love to connect.
