Of course you’re asking, “But HOW are you different?”

Ellie provides services above and beyond a traditional private practice model, encouraging our therapists to create meaningful connections and innovative programming for the community we serve. Ellie clinics are structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services.

Flexible, self-directed schedules where a full-time caseload starts at 25 clients per week

Hybrid workplace options to support our focus on a balanced life for our employees and clients alike

A dedicated Client Access Team to handle new client inquiries, utilizing a proprietary system to schedule according to each therapist’s input and expertise

Equitable benefits for every employee (including mandatory PTO, a choice of health insurance plans, and 401k match)
