Your schedule. Your caseload. Your way of doing therapy.

Ellie Mental Health is on a mission to improve and expand access to quality mental health care. This full-time, hybrid role lets you set your own schedule and see clients in person, via telehealth, or both. Licensed and pre-licensed clinicians are welcome.
