Outpatient Mental Health Therapist

Who is Ellie?

Ellie Mental Health is a highly successful multi-clinic mental health organization with headquarters in Minnesota. Ellie clinics are structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services. Ellie makes the clinician’s experience a priority by offering: excellent compensation, benefits, training, and flexible scheduling. Not to mention providing centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections, and even CEU programs.

We want our people to be happy because happy therapists do better work and provide better client care!
